Sweet, sweet friend,
Oh how special you are.
A loyal companion
There is no better
Than you. Curious and true,
Happy, Loving,
Comforting, Calming.
Fur as soft as Clouds
and the color of friendship.
Oh, lovely dog, your blind loyalty
Makes you a dumb genius, a wise fool.
A perfect friend you are.
Always happy to see me,
To snuggle up next to me,
To make me feel less alone.
You, old pup, are everything.
A heart as big and as accepting
As yours is too precious, too pure,
For this world. Your loud barks.
More beings should be like you,
Kind, soft beast. Your hugs
And your kisses, though wet,
Warm my heart and lift my spirits.
You are the warmth of the Sun
And the watchful eye of the Moon.

You are compassion.
You are a fierce warrior.
And with this Ode to You,
I thank you for being by my side.
Lucky Dog, my best friend, I love you.
