- My beautiful, beautiful friend,
- my loyal protector...
- You were the inner image of the dog as a best friend
- through thick and thin -
- you never needed to wear a leash,
- it was obvious for you to always keep close to me.
- You knew by instinct how to behave anywhere and
everywhere -
- in the city, in the country,
- at trips, at dog shows...
- You cared for and protected everyone you considered
- your friends - people, dogs, other pets -
- with your typical intensity. You never forgot
- who your friends were, no matter how many years that
- passed since you last met.
- You fought your physical ailments so hard,
- for so long, until you finally gave up.
- But you know, my friend,
- in my heart you'll live forever...
