This goes out to anyone who has ever lost a dog they really cared about.

To the tune of the original Dolly Parton version of “I will always love you”

Written from the perspective of your loyal pup that has left this world for the next one.

If I could stay,

I would wag my tail forever.

But my time has come,

And I must go.

I'll always bark for you,

I'll always fetch for you,

My love is pure and true,

And I will always love you.

We had our walks and runs,

Through fields of green and gold,

Your gentle hand in mine,

A bond that can't be sold.

I'll always bark for you,

I'll always fetch for you,

My love is pure and true,

And I will always love you.

As I cross the Rainbow Bridge,

Don't shed too many tears,

Remember all our fun,

Through all the passing years.

I'll always bark for you,

I'll always fetch for you,

My love is pure and true,

And I will always love you.

In fields where I now roam,

With joy and love, I'm free,

I forgive you for the past,

For getting me spayed, you see.

I'll always bark for you,

I'll always fetch for you,

My love is pure and true,

And I will always love you.

So when you think of me,

Just know I'm running free,

In a land of endless play,

Where we'll meet again someday.

I'll always bark for you,

I'll always fetch for you,

My love is pure and true,

And I will always love you.
