Pete was such a little chap
When he was passed to me.
He seemed to be quite nervous
And trembling, I could see.
I held him close and cuddled him,
Whispered nothings in his ear.
His clear brown eyes looked up at me
To show there was no fear.
A bond was formed there and then,
With time it just grew stronger,
Always we were the best of friends;
I wish it were much longer.
At times he was so mischievous,
At others he was impish.
We both had a wondrous time
'Till his untimely finish.
The car that hit him didn't stop,
Just drove on down the road.
When I stooped to pick him up,
My heart bore an awful load.
I dug his grave up near the shed;
For Pete there tolls a bell.
Twelve years we had together,
Oh yes, I knew him well.
I cried a lot as I covered him,
My heart so very sad.
I'll miss his constant company,
Best dog I've ever had.
