A Dog's Lifelong Friendship

I remember the day I brought you home, a ball of fur and big

brown eyes. You fit right there in my old coat pocket, a happy wiggle

and surprise. You chewed up my boots and my baseball glove, you barked at

the mailman's truck. You slept on my bed when I had the flu,

and licked my forehead for luck. 'Cause you were my good time, my hard time,

my four-legged right-hand man. My shadow in sunshine through everything life

planned. And I knew I was your whole world from my first

hello to your end. See, a dog is your best friend
