The first time seeing him I knew
Nothing could be more true
This dog was a loyal friend too
The bond increased as he grew
But not just any dog
He could lead you through fog
A smart and wise animal
The best and greatest pal
A protector, and good at it
His attitude was never quit
Always there by your side
Happy and his eyes so wide
Or if you were feeling down
He'd turn you all around
He was never, ever mean
And he has never been
He enjoyed time with you
With anything you'd do
Chasing a frisbee or ball
He did not mind at all
Swimming was his favourite
Baths, he wanted no part of it
It was sad that he had to depart
I wish I could go back to the start
I can see him now, running around
A better place now he has found
Until we meet again one day
You still are the number one stray
