A special dog

I was only nineteen

When you arrived

Instantly we bonded

Always by my side

You were different

You were special

Your friendliness

Deserves a medal

Never hostile

But very blunt

Only to protect

Is when you'd grunt

Always happy

Always with joy

Always willing

To play with your toys

A collection of bones

You kept in your box

You really liked them

And never my socks

When you needed something

You had different barks

I remember you could whisper

To keep quiet in the dark

I could write a million pages

Of all the positives about you

Every single day was perfect

And I will never forget you
