This was so beautifully written and touched me so deeply I knew I had to leave it as a tribute to the best dog and best friend I will ever know.

"Only those among us who have shared the deepest and most inexplicable relationship with our canine companions can begin to comprehend the depth of (your) loss."
"There is, in those rare cases, a bond created between dog and handler that transcends the natural boundaries separating the human and animal realms."
"Giving a large measure of one's heart to another assumes the risk of losing that larger measure, yet in such deep loss the heart gains and grows larger still when the hidden blessings of that life lived become evident as time passes."

My heart beats, but with each beat there is pain in the knowledge that it beats alone. What once was two is now one, and I long for warmth of your love and companionship. If God had known the pain and loneliness taking you home to him would cause you would still be by my side.

My heart and my soul belongs to you.
