When no-one else can be bothered to listen my dog is always there. :)


SAVED FROM DEATH ROW

Rex and I met when he was behind bars,
'though which of us was the prisoner
I never could tell.
I like to think that I saved him
from a long and boring sleep.
He did the same for me.

His eyes were wide and full
of words and thoughts
Which any fool knows animals are incapable of,
and yet,
he showed more love,
than I had ever known.

When I picked him up,
and felt him nuzzle into the crook of my arm,
I knew that he already was
my best friend.
