Dear (insert dog name here),

Thank you for greeting me when I come home every time as if I hadn't seen you in years.
You get excited to see me no matter if I've been away for a month or even just left the house for 20 minutes.

Thank you for teaching me responsibility.
Growing up with you by my side has taught me to care for someone other than myself.

Thank you for being the best running partner.
You always go a little too fast, but it pushes me to be better than I think I am.

Thank you for giving me your all.
Without hesitation, you give 100 percent in everything you do.

Thank you for being the best listener I could ask for.
You rarely ever talk back and you're always there to cuddle with me after I vent.

Thank you for always making me feel special.
You never look at other people the same way you do at me.

Thank you for always being able to put a smile on my face. Whether it's doing something silly or just unexpectedly being cuter than normal, I appreciate both.

Thank you for the endless cuddles.
Being sick or sad, you just sense that something is wrong because you get me.

Lastly, thank you most of all though for always loving me.
Rich or poor, ugly or pretty, smart or dumb, you've always been there without judgment.

I would do anything for my dog, just as I know they would do for me. Some had been taken too soon and I hope my best friends that are here now live forever as they all will in our hearts.

Love always, a dog's best friend.
