You came to us one evening with a big and loving heart
We knew from the very first moments we'd never want to part
You ate the rugs and sofa like they were a bedtime meal
And made the police come in the night chasing you with lots of zeal
You stole our hearts from the beginning
With your kind and gentle manner
Puppy kisses and wagging tales were the norm
And lots and lots of doggie banter
Your eyes looked into our souls
With a deep and comforting gift
Unconditional love and support
You taught us how to live

Holding you in those final moments
I finally near a heart could break
You filled our lives with love and laughter
And never turned down a good juicy steak

And if there is a doggie heaven
And believe deeply that there is
You are chewing your favorite chew toy
And loving us virtually with your doggie kiss
