A Friend To Be There (Riddle Poem)

I’m a friend to be there, wherever you are, big or small, old or young, we shall never part. A comfort for sadness, to listen or play, shall be at your side at any day. If you’re hurt, or sick or mad I’ll whimper, I’ll howl, until I’m let out and then I’ll whisper, “Times may get hard, but never fear, because I will always be somewhere near!” in my funny, yet small and tiny voice. When treated with care, I shall always be there, because I know you, and you know me, and together, we are a small, but happy family! We WILL be friends forever and ever, no matter what; nothing shall ever stop our love. My hands may be different, and my teensy heartbeat too, but I shall still love you deep down in my tiny heart all the way through.
What am I?
