When I was still a puppy, everytime you come home from school, you always carried me in your arms, you loved me and cared for me.
In stormy nights, when I feel cold, you wrap a soft blanket around me and cradled me to sleep.
As years passed, you became busier than ever , but you still pay attention to me even when you do your school work.
As you so called "graduated elementary", we celebrated and ate a lot of food. I never saw you so happy.

When you were high school, you came home late and stressed. You leave the house every morning before the light shows up. I wait for you to come home, and when you do, I excitedly jump and lick you all the time.
The longer I do this, the longer you spank me on my snout and say "bad dog" or sometimes "stupid dog, doesn't know how to calm down". Even if I get hurt with all the spanks and negative words you say to me, I still love you and I know you love me too.
Your school year is almost over and you spend more time with me now. And now, you always say I love you and you let me lick your face and jump on you. I feel so happy.

Summer, and you are gone for a long time, I really miss you. When you came back, I was really happy but you didnt even lay an eye on me, or called my name. I cried so loud that you went down. I felt so happy but you spanked me so hard I didnt even have the chance to cry. You said "Bad dog". I felt so sad and wondered what I did. But I still thought that whatever happens I will always love you.

One morning, I felt very weak. I cant move my legs or even wag my tail. You saw me on the floor and carried me. A tear fell down your cheek. I licked your hand and you looked at me with a sad face. You brought me to your room and laid me on your bed. You hugged me and I murmured "I love you" and licked you on the cheek. I think you understand what I meant because you replied " I love you". I felt so happy that once again, you told me that you loved me. I was too weak to move and I had a hard time to breath. I struggled but later on, I didnt feel pain anymore. I saw you crying, I licked your hand but you didnt respond. Later on I realized that Im no longer with you. I wasnt there to comfort you anymore. I wasnt alive. I want to say "I love you" one last time, but I am too late. I just want you to know that Im free and healthy. And that throughout your life, I will always and forever love you
