Goodbye My Friend

Oh we never know where life will take us
We know it's just a ride on the wheel
And we never know when death will shake us
And we wonder how it will feel

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the time together through all the years
Will take away these tears
It's O.K. now
Goodbye my friend

I'd see a lot of things that made me crazy
And I guess I held on to you
You could've run away and left, well maybe
But it wasn't time and we both knew

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the love you gave me through all the years
Will take away my tears
I'm O.K. now
Goodbye my friend

A life so fragile, a love so pure
We can't hold on but we try
We watch how quickly it disappears
And we'll never know why

But I'm O.K. now
Goodbye my friend
You can go now
Goodbye my friend

    Dogs are better friends than people.

    The loss of a beloved pet is about the most profound thing one can experience in life, it is life altering.

    My dog passed away yesterday. He was my best friend for over 14 years. I loved him and he returned that love a 100 percent. I know he is in heaven and I will see him again someday.

  • My first dog as a young boy was my German Shepherd Terry Hobo she was 13 when she was sick and had to put her to sleep was very sad but thank God for our faith and hope of seeing our dogs again in heaven with the Lord and all our loved ones Amen.

    I had a good friend.an 8 week old long haired German Shepard.i named him Tyler I had his company for 15 years .at one point we were homless.a good friend mine had a car on his drive and let me and Tyler stay in that car for a year .that dog kept me alive as we went through a long cold winter. He was with me when I met my wife then our children .15 years we spent together.i miss that dog so much brings water to my eyes when I think of him.such trust and loyalty.i could never have another dog .it broke my heart when he passed .

    Saying goodbye to our loves companions is a type of grief all its own. I have dogs and horses and cats that list. Gone and never forgotten. Thank you for this .
  • My daughter had to move back home, and she came back with a 10 month old German Shepherd! I was thinking I was going to have another responsibility added to my plate. But it turns out Trigger is my bestest friend and most loyal creature I've ever known. He stole my heart, and I love him so much. ❤

    Puppies are still alive in the heart of the owner who lost their pets.😢😢❤❤

    Sweet beautiful dog. If there is a heaven it's filled with animals.

    I lost my white German shepherd a few months ago. Cancer in her jaw took her away from me 💔💔🥺🐾
  • @tonyspathfinder
    The too short years of loving an amazing dog ends with pain and great emptiness. Not everyone has the capacity. They need us so much from us, as we need from them. In Dec ‘23 I lost sweet Faith. 16 years old.

    Thank you for this memorial.As i sit in my back yard thinking of our beloved ZZ Topper, i viewed this video with a heavy heart for our best friend of 13 years. We lost him because of hip dysplacia, horrible! As i sat in the back yard with him the last day, a bald eagle flew across and dipped his wings for Z. They knew! He was special, knew it the day we picked him out. Again thanks.
  • I have a two-year-old and a 6-month-old shepherd. And I love them so fringing much. They are men and women best friends.
  • @jeffh643
    A wonderful tribute to your best friend. I truly believe that German Shepherds are the most loyal and loving of breeds. I lost my GSD Duchess last August. She was killed by a car in front of my home because I forgot to close the backyard gate. She was my best friend for 11 years and I'm not quite sure I will ever forgive myself. I miss her so much. 💔
