A wonderful tribute poem to a loyal and loved friend. Our pets are so much more than animals we love. Their devotion and companionship are, in some ways, often sweeter and more precious than human friendships. We know they can be counted on no matter what happens. Thank you for this great poem, reminding us of the things we value. I enjoyed this. MM

Hi Brenda, a lovely ode to a sweet friend for life. A faithful dog is always remembered as a companion, a friend, and confidant whenever you've been in need. When they're lost, nothing's worse. :(

A beautiful poem about Brody. Our pets love us unconditionally. But when the day comes and we know they are suffering, it's the more humane way. I had a Pekingese who was 16 years old. He was getting sick and I knew it was time. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I held him while he drifted off, his eyes never leaving mine until they closed for the last time. Great, now I'm crying! Brody will live in your heart forever.

    Oh don't cry! My friend said that she and the nurses held Him and petted Him and Kissed Him all the while telling Him what a Good Boy He was until He transitioned. She said it was quick, quiet and peaceful and He didn't cry even once! He was a "Very Good Boy!"

A very well-written ode to man's best friend that sometimes need to go before us and we stay behind with only the memories of the great times we enjoyed together over the years.

This is very well-written and moving, making excellent use of specific details to describe your loyal pet and friend. I find the unnecessary
capitals distracting. I can point some of them out if you wish.

"Ode To Brody", is an extremely well-written and heart-wrenching piece. This talented poet's work was a privilege to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but unfortunately I only have fives left. I look forward to seeing your next post.

What a wonderful dog Brody must have been. Such a good companion. You must miss him dreadfully. I like the way you have described the depth of your love for him in the line: "Because I can gently trace the paw prints you left in my heart over the years."

Yes, Brenda, losing a sweet dog like Brody, is just like losing a child or other family member. You did a great job with your tribute to him with this ode contest entry. Your lines flow smoothly, and I can feel the love and longing for him. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan

I do know how great an impact a pet can make. My day is never a peaceful one until I spend time with Kat-kat. I am truly sorry you lost your dear friend.

This is very moving because a lot of us have had beloved pets that we lost over the passage of time. Love this line especially: I can gently trace the paw prints you left in my heart over the years.

I'm so sorry you lost Brody. I'm sure he knew how much you loved him.
Hugs, Spangle

    Thank you so much. Brody was my best Friend's Beloved Companion. She called me this morning in tears and I penned this for Her. I'm sure she would appreciate your kind encouraging words!
