Bear

Bear was my dog,
He was luscious to pat,
He was as beautiful as a stallion,
And as graceful as a swan,
Bear wouldn't hurt a fly,
He was a beautiful white with a pinch of chaotic black,
He was the kindest hearted dog I ever knew,
Bear was never in a bad state,
He could eat vast amounts of food,
But the day he died was hell,
And then he was put down to rest,
Bear was very dear to me,
But no matter what happened I still loved him,
And now my heart remains a black abyss,
And that's why this tribute to him must be heard.
