Dusty by Chris

Dusty was the best dog ever. I remember when I got her. I was seven and she was just a pup. Seeing a sign that said free puppies my mom took me to the house to pick one out. She picked me instead. Growing up she was my best friend. When I moved away 11 years later she sat on the hillside and howled at the sky. She was always by my side and stuck her neck out for me standing in the way of a thrown rock a reckless car and even nipping at the heels of a charging horse. She loved me and at any time would have given her life for me. I’ve never had a more caring and closer friend. She passed away when I was 24. 17 years is an amazing life for a dog and I could never have asked for a better friend. I’ll always remember Dusty and sometimes miss her poking her nose in my face to see if I’m alright. I thank god for giving me such a wonderful friend and will always miss her.
