I believe in dogs - this song expresses exactly why:
I heard this song the other night - it made me cry- written by my friend Will about his dog, Henry - but it could be about my dog Pearl too:

(verse 1)
When I first saw your brown eyes you were lost in the mire
Running three feet of concrete behind six feet of wire
I could tell you were hungry I could feel all your pain
And I swore you would never be lonesome again.
Come along old friend, come along with me
There's a whole world to show you and a lifetime to see
We can run through the forest, we can dance through the years
For time will not touch you again.
(verse 2)
You were soft, you were silky and you ran like the wind
You were always my sister, you were always my friend
And you always played gentle when the kids ragged you round
And you guarded their dreams til their sleeping was sound.
chorus
(verse 3)
You were there for my shakin' you were there for my tears
You were there like a shadow through my craziest years
You forgave in a moment, never working a deal
And a thousand more words couldn't say how I feel
chorus
(verse 4)
Now your legs have grown weary and your eyes have grown old
You'll be climin' no mountains, chasing sheep in the fold
But I know I still love you and I guess when we part
You will stroll into glory with a piece of my heart...
