Dear Dog,

I have never truly thanked you for all that you have done for me and I think it is long overdue. Thank you for always being there for me, even when I am upset or sad or not in the mood to play. Thank you for always wagging your tail and licking my hand, which I know is your way of saying “I love you.”

Thank you for always making me laugh. You are such an unique and wonderful dog and I will be telling stories about you and have memories of you for my whole life. You know how to make me smile even when I don’t want to.

Thank you for being so loyal. There are time when I am away for weeks at school or don’t come out and play with you, there are times when I get angry at you for not listening, and there are times when you get angry with me for scolding you. Regardless of all of this you are still so loyal and you still love me so much. I wish that one day I can have a heart as pure as yours.

Thank you for being in my life. I know that one day you will be gone and that I will be heartbroken, but for now I will cherish you and love you. You have been through so many years of my life, so many memories and events with me, always patiently waiting in the backyard for when I return. I miss you so much when I am away but just know that I love you.

Thank you again for being in my life, loving me unconditionally, and for making me laugh and smile. Dogs are a blessing to humans and you have been a blessing to me. Thank you again.

Love,

Your Human
