The Canine Pals who stick to the end Through thick or thin, they never bend They let us stay strong, no matter what A very best friend, who is never apart Evolved with man straight from the start From our world he’ll never part He’s always there to hear us talk For with our love we’ll make him walk A protector with love, awake to see He stays so nights we sleep carefree A friend with eyes to denote A perfect life, always afloat Forever he’ll wait when we are gone He howls and whines his desperate song When we’re back, He’ll yip as though life is complete When he’s elsewhere, how depressed we feel Whatever we do, feelings won’t yield Not until we see his eyes lit up Not until we’re back with our beloved pup
