Soft and cuddly, warm and sweet
The nicest puppy you’ll ever meet
With big black ears and a wet cherry nose
She follows my daughter wherever she goes
She cuddles and licks with the greatest of ease
She wags her long tail as big as you please
She is the best friend that a young child could know
And as years go forward, their dear love will grow
A girl and her puppy, growing up together
They’ll be the best of friends in all kinds of weather
As both become bigger, they’ll be more mature
But I have no doubt that their love will endure
One day, time will fade, as time so must do
Their days in the sun and the shade will be through
But kept in a girl’s memory, her first childhood pet
Whose love was so pure she could not forget
