Ben was my best friend.
He was the most special friend I had ever had.
I was only 7 when my mum got Ben and I will never forget the time when I saw 2 little ears pop out of the dog carrier.
Ben always slept on my bed curled up in my arms and he would always sit underneath the dinner table till someone gave him some of their food and then he would walk away quite happily.
He would always fetch his lead off the shelf and bring it to me so that I could take him for a walk he always loved to copy what I did and liked to dress up in my dads work outfit he was so cute he loved the other dog we had Shelby and they were the best of friends.
Then one morning a fire broke out in our home and my sister was the last person to get out when the fire had been put out I realized that only Shelby had come out and the rest of the family but there was no Ben and I was absolutely petrified. I prayed for him to still be alive. I ran into the house and found Ben curled up in the corner covered in ash and he was dying fast due to breathing in too much smoke. I could tell he was scared.
As soon as he saw me step through the door he dragged his way over to me and rested his head on my knee. I stroked his lovely soft hair and prayed for him to survive. He made it for another 4 months and then died because he had been having trouble with his lungs and could not breath well I miss him so much and will never be able to rebuild that part of me that died with him. I knew that god had taken his pain away and that he was suffering no more.
I love you and always will do
