A Guide Dogs Resting Place

Art 


With dark eyes like stones against a light short coat
Meaning more to my family than He ever could have known
Independence and a social bridge for a man who once felt Alone
A lighthouse in a dark and endless ocean 
Leading on to adventures time and time again 
Part of our family
Never to forget 
A beautiful creature 
More than a guide, fate brought them together 
Never truly gone but laid down to rest 
Forever in our memory




....this poem is about my brother's guide dog.  Thank you for being my brother's Eyes for 7 years and going through life's adventures with him, and giving him independence.  You are truly an angel.
