My Dog Poem by Gemma Heaney

The first day I held u as a puppy in my arms I knew
we would have such an amazing bond that was so true
gazing upon your teddy bear face
I fell so in love at a lightening quick pace

you filled my life with such joy and happiness
you my little furry friend are the best
we travelled to Scotland upon a boat
your wore your little doggy coat
you away’s kept me company
while I studied & did a music degree
when I was missing home you see
you were the greatest of comfort to me

12 years have passed
you are my little shadow
everywhere I roam
u are sure to follow
Through Summer’s we spend at the seaside
playing on the sand you run & hide

when we reach wintertime u lay by the fire
dream of all the things your little heart desires
to some you are only a dog
but to me you are a little heart beat
that never leaves my feet

through the toughest of times
you have been there for me
you are such a special soul
I love you my little Laddy



when u look at me it’s as if you know
with your endless little wagging tail
big smile & glow
u are always by my side
I will never be lonely no inch no mile

my little furry black nosed guide
your little furry face by my side
u are a part of my heart I keep
My little beloved Dog
My little hearbeat
always at my feet
