This story began in 1979 and is true . It is one of my favorite and up to an including today many of us who were there will still say "Sir was a Dog" when someone very politely says sir to us.
Returning from noontime repast
we found a starving bird dog pup. Brought him to our office to feed
then decide what more we could help. While he scarfed down what we did find
our corporate owner came in.
"And who's this lil guy on the floor
you two mind if I take him home?" We answered sure, pup went along
Ben gave him the handle of Sir.
Sir lived a life fit for a king
he and Ben constant companions. Even when Ben wed, Sir had it all
and came to the office each day. As the two arrived Sir would go search
and report back who he found. Once my friend stared Sir down to sleep
never said his intellect high. But Sir and Ben became best friends
and yet though gone they walk as one.
Budd, this is truly a great story. As it reminded me of my late great dog. My daughter, surprised me with a rescued dog that was five years old at the time. A rough collie that looked like Lassie. And, we enjoyed him for seven years. Sadly, my dearest paw friend died of cancer.
I Love Dogs & This is a lovely story poem Budd
and being it is a tue story in even more endering
Animals are such a blessing in our lives
I do believe they walk with us in heaven too :)
They surely must I believe they have souls
I have 4 dogs & I am pretty sure they have souls
Love & Blessings

Bird dogs are sight hounds. Sir knew exactly what he was doing when he was "stared" to sleep I'd bet. Most dogs I've known are smarter than me. Patrick
Spoken like a true military man :) Giving this wee little thing such a lovely title. Angels come to us in all forms and we are so rewarded for our kindness. Lovely Budd see how he touched each ones soul
Sir is a good luck story. I have taken dogs (frigging cats can survive without me) from shelter, from people who didn't want them, and those I found on the street (Princess, my beautiful German Shepherd comes to mind) I love dogs, mutts, never had a thoroughbred, too much incest going on.
Inspirational poetry, written from the heart and soul. Verses that are well-suited for reading on a rainy day and that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

They have been everything to me and, like Sir and Ben, we are a team.
Paw for one and one for Paw.
on a dull far too humid morning where i am;
'best friends' is everything
