The Dog The Love of my Life a companion for me set me free

This is about my best friend

I have nothing in this world 

But the big black dog

He loves me like a friend

He is faithful and so kind

He listens to every command

The dog the love of my life

A companion for me set me free

From depression and frustration

Of Life's little problems

Some call it Pet therapy 

It's all right by me

If at times I need pet therapy

Its a matter of saving my sanity

I'll take my sanity over all

Beats beating my head against the wall

Did I tell you My dog name is Big black

he comes when I call him that

he sits beside me when I watching my favorite show

Like a faithful friend would do if I had one

But to me only Big Black will do

I trained him and taught him some tricks 

to make him a sharp dog

One all can call friend

But don't try to attack me in the end

for you will have to deal with my best friend.

Smitty what a true pal you have in Big Black. They never stop loving us. Its an unconditional love they offer in the shape of a paw - outstretched - for us to shake. All they ask is for even 10% of that love back because that would be enough to sustain them - while we expect it all. The good owners stop becoming owners and soon become friends and reciprocate with 100% love. I know I would have put my life on the line for my own little dog Tyson had cancer not claimed him in August 2014.

You are a good man Smitty. This is a good write. And Big Black...well...he is a good dog.
thanks Ana Sophia for requesting that I read this lovely work - it truly warmed my heart and the little paw shape that resides within it still. Thank you both

Very moving Smitty! :)
Those animals become a big part of our lives.

I had 4 outside dogs in Arkansas. All trained to do simple tricks, walk long walks with me, etc. When I moved back to Mi. After I lost my husband, I moved where I cannot have animals. That really hurt to leave them to be adopted. Kathie

Very well written I to had a best friend a German Shepard named Cisco. He loved to go for rides and loved me unconditionally and I use to tell him all my problems and if he could talk what stories he could tell. I grieved over 10 years for that dog, people would say "well he was just a dog" but they didn't understand he was my one and only best friend. Finally after 10 years I buried his ash's and let him go. Never again have I found a friend so loyal until I met my wife in 2012 she is now my best friend. You connected with me in a big way with this poem very good.
