Innocent eyes staring back at me,
A look of wonder and a look of glee;
Oh these eyes staring into my soul
Making my heart feel complete, whole;
You are my guardian angel that protects
With a love so genuine and complex;
When my heart is crushed and broken
It is you whose encouragement is unspoken;
Just like everyone else, you have some flaws
Like the hair that gets between your paws,
But to me your flaws don’t really matter,
Always making me grin when on the floor they patter;
You are my sweet baby and forever shall I love,
A love that I doubt anyone could conceive of;
You have found a special place within my heart,
I will love you always (even if you make a stinky fart)

). I wrote the poem from the perspective as if the dog were my own since I thought that would be easier and a better effect. A couple of the lines from the poem were inspired by lines from the contest holder's example poem that was given.

Adding your comment:
I can imagine a beautiful dog running across the kitchen floor just now...
Thanks for the encouragement, though! When I wrote the poem I had two choices for the ending, what I had, or using the word apart and saying something like: "It kills me everytime we're apart." I thought using the fart worked. I seem to let the rhyming words dictate where my poetry goes. Heart and fart happen to rhyme so that's the way it went. 
Wow... this is a long response. 
I loved reading that... You hava a way with making even the most sweet things funny... i love the quirky twists
