"He is my other eyes, that can see above the clouds

                      My other ears that can hear above the winds. 

              He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea.

                                                With him, I know a secret comfort, and a private peace. 

He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant.

                                                           His head on my knee can heal  my human hurts

                                   His presence by my side is protection against my fears of the dark

                                                                            and the unknown.

                                                                           He is just my dog."
