Dedicated to Precious Dogs Everywhere

A dogs love is like no other,
Its equal can't be found.
Its lick can melt a heartache,
Unique bark - unique sound.

Tiny eyes can sense our feelings,
Tiny paws will say, "yes please."
A multitude of emotions,
Yet they show it with such ease.

They always welcome our return,
Or just a, "good morning" wag.
A love thats unconditional,
It doesn't need a tag.

Its only when you know that love,
That a little dog can give,
That you learn what love is all about,
That, you then really start to live.

Two paws are wrapped around me,
Yet with such a gentle touch.
That I look down and "thank them"
Thanking them for giving much.

Few words can convey,
The vastness of their skills.
But its unison of ownership,
And not a game of wills.

A bundle of boundless energy,
Regardless of their age.
A pup within an old mind,
Nothing counts at this stage.

Unlike us, who show our age,
They grow old, yet become again- young.
Where a lifetime is for living,
The continual life, thats just begun.

So thank you, our darling angel,
Thank you for WHO you are.
A glorious shining angel,
The very brightest star.
