Wanderer



He was first born out of the litter.  The only Sabel German Shepherd. This little boy was the pick of the litter.

He immediately imprinted on me as his pet parent.  That's when I became this puppys new daddy.

His eyes were still closed when he started to wander.  It was at that moment he chose his own name.

As he grew larger and became stronger.  It wasn't long till he dwarfed his siblings.

As the years passed and his life cycle would end.  He always remained my loyal best friend.

Too this day when I think about him.  He still pulls at my heart strings.  Wanderer, I miss you boy.  Love always, your daddy.

    A lovely story and a great tribute to Wanderer. It’s really apparent how much he meant and still means to you. Animals are the best!

    I know what it is to love a pet so much and then our pet passes away so heartbreaking. I thought the poem was meaningful! Great job thank you for sharing!
