Best Friend

I was a police officer processing a stolen car inside a junkyard. As I was working away, I felt a soft plop on my left boot. I looked down & saw the cutest floppy-eared, whippy-tailed red puppy. He was a 5 week old Doberman. I fell in love. The junkyard owner said I could have him in a week or two. I got him one week later. He was my constant companion & best friend. We lived through blizzards, family tragedies, good times & cancer. His - not mine. He saved me from myself when I felt I couldn't go on. He was everything to me & my kids. After his amputation, we had him for another 5 years. He was a gift from above & the Powers that Be blessed us all with his grace, beauty & love for 14 wonderful years. I miss him still but I am so glad I had the time with him that I had. I hope everyone out there can experience the joy of a dog like Bailey.
