To the last one I had,
with the strange looking hair
He never interrupted…
he’d just sit there and listen
Then when I was all done
and wanted a reply
He’d give me an answer
with just the look in his eye
I’d always kid him and say
that he’s not so smart
But he’d blow me away
when he showed me his art
He would see things that to me
just were not there
He would come up with clues
seemingly out of mid air
At the end of each day
when it was time to go home
I’d ask him to come with me
so I would not be alone
He never said no
he was always right there
For all kinds of emotions
only partners could share
We worked hard for each other
but we really had fun
We’d work out together
then we’d go for a run
If I were down in the dumps
he’d bring me up without fail
With just a lick of my face…
and a wag of his tail….
Yeah that was my partner…
man's best friend
A K-9 named Trooper
and he was to the end
Well I will have others…
they’ll come and they’ll go
But in my book it’s Trooper…
who wins top of the show!
