Every so often
Within our busy lives
We find someone so dear.
Its like we've known them forever
Someone who can touch our very soul.
And in such a way
That when our story is through
And you can no longer go on
I will be strong
And I will take the next step
Just for you.
Just for you to smile again
My dear, best friend.
And with all that i have
I will love you
Always..

For my first dog, Shilo, you will always hold a special place in my heart. you were with me for 16 long years, and i will never forget. The bravest, strongest, most loyal dog i have ever met.
