The saying goes that "man is dog's best friend". Others find that other pets are also up to the task. The companionship that animals offer is different from human interaction. Human communicate with speech and although this is an advanced form of communication, it has its limitations. Sometimes people struggle to say the right thing when what we really need is to be simply there for each other. Because animals cannot talk they are superior to humans in detecting the feelings of others. A pet may be able to offer a level of companionship that is deeper and more satisfying than human interaction.

A dog wandered into our garden one day,
A friendly old mutt, didn't look like a stray.
We never discovered whence he had come,
But we brushed him and fed him and the kids called him Rum.

Today we had to let you go.
It broke our hearts in two.
We had to leave you at that place,
Alone and feeling blue.
I look to the day when the Lord calls upon thee,
My time had come for my one final journey.
To begin searching, looking for my little boy,
With love and compassion and such a great joy.

You're the best friend I could ever ask for,
The one I can talk to.
You listen to everything I have to say,
I'm really going to miss you.
A bond so strong that could not be broke.
Separated for a time, then reunited with a promise.
A promise of devotion, time, and safety.
Only to be broken...
My little dog
So many laughs we've shared
So many runs together
New friends were found by taking you on a walk

Shadow died by crossing the street
That angel flew above my feet
When I saw blood coming out of his head
I silenced my words from my mind
Slowly and slowly,
She started to fall.
Her eyes opened and closed
As she blinked.
Remember all the good times,
Remember all the bad.
You stuck with me through everything,
The best friend I have had.
My puppy is a handful,
So full of energy.
She jumps around to greet us,
And wags her tail with glee.
