A Boy and His Best Friend

A boy and best friend named Killer,
Together they shall grow.   
When one is very ill,
The other surely knows!

Faithful to one another,
They played games and also liked to run.
Though one was so much faster,
Together they still had fun.
 
Faithful and oh so loyal,
He was Johnny's good best friend.
They protected one another,
Until Killer's bitter end!
