My pet

The first time seeing him I knew

Nothing could be more true

This dog would be 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 greatest and best pal

A protector and good at it

His attitude was never quit

Always there by my side

Happy and his eyes very wide

If I was feeling down

He would turn me around

He was never ever mean

And he has never been

He enjoyed time with me

With anything that I could see

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 he had to depart

I wish I could go back to the start

I can see him now running around

A better place he now has found

Until we meet again one day

He still is the number one stray
