This is a sad yet hopeful write, my best friend Powys it's Welsh means running water,I welpt him at home he was a fantastic dog who died two years ago my heart is still broken, I miss him like crazy, we didn't need words between us the only time we were parted was when I was rushed into hospital. He pined didn't eat for eleven days finally my friend took him to his country home and he felt better the relationship between dogs and owners are so strong they know who to trust and sniff out the bad ones and furl their lips with a growl .
Your poem reminds me of Powys and I believe he's in heaven waiting for me, your son and dog maybe walking through woods this very moment.
Congratulations on your first place ribbon it's a gem. Hope the new tenants are ok and keeping the peace. Great write really enjoyed reading it.

Thanks for reading and your wonderful comments. I'm so sorry you lost your good friend. That's the sad thing about dogs, their lives are far too short. The new renters are doing fine so far. Thanks for your concern.
Comment from Jim Lorson Sr
First of all congratulations with winning the contest, *Beautiful Creatures*. Dog was certainly a beautiful creature. In my life, I have not seen a pure white German Shepherd like Dog. Im sorry for the loss of you son, Roy and then Dog. I have never figured out how dogs can know the time when people are coming home or when certain things need done. Such is that mystery.
I miss my *Little Girl* so very much. My 2nd ex rescued from her street. Called me and I went and got her. Took her to the vet the next morning, everything about her was fine except for her weight. Got her shots, took her home and cooked for her. I increased her weight from 4 lbs 2 oz to 7 lbs 5oz by her 6 mo check-up. Then her normal weight at the end of the first year with me. She was a great dog, friend and companion until she was killed by a car on July 14, 2013. A very tragic loss for me.
What an exceptional story my friend,,,,,,,Jim

Thanks for reading and the six stars, they are appreciated. I'm so sorry you lost your little friend too. I lost my son and dog a very long time ago. While it still hurts, I have learned to live with it. Life goes on even after bad things happen.

That is very true. Time is a great healer. :)))
Comment from humpwhistle
A tragic story. But bittersweet, too. The bond Roy and Dog shared
is a breath of life.
Congratulations on your win.
Peace, Lee
Then, in 1985, tragedy struck when Roy died in a hunting accident--the 'then' and 'when' in this sentence is a little awkward. I'd consider dropping the 'then'.

Comment from Mabaker
Ah, hell that was terrible. I am so sorry for the loss of both your Roy and Dog, animals might be the cleverest when it comes to certain, but there is no way humans can explain death to them. I hope the pain is easier now. Sincerely Anne

Comment from robyn corum
PBB,
I can see why you won the contest. *smile* This is a very special story though I hate the ending. It seems unfair for both your son and your pup to have lived such short lives. Thanks for sharing -- and I'm sending a hug-

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. It was a very long time ago, and while I will miss my son and dog forever, I have learned to live with it. Life goes on even when bad things happen.
Comment from Vijay Kumar V
This is a great phrase, "a boy, and his dog, doing whatever boys and dogs do. " I understand Roy means a lot to you. Thanks for sharing this prose. Have a great day. Namaste
