Floppy ears fly in the breeze tongue out breathing hard running with excitement barking around the yard

Wagging tail when I come near it makes me feel so loved all my worries disappear as your belly’s rubbed

You aren’t just a dog you watch and listen

The most faithful one I’m connected to the most loving one I call to

You’re my friend, my best friend you aren’t just a dog you’re my best friend

Wherever I go you come the velcro at my side no matter where we go you’re ready for the ride

My non-judging confidant you deserve all the praise I’m blessed to have such a friend that’s loyal always

You aren’t just a dog you watch and listen

The most faithful one I’m connected to the most loving one I call to

You’re my friend, my best friend you aren’t just a dog you’re my best friend
