My Ole Buddy

by Larry Petree

The bible says, Prov 12:10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

I do not trust anyone who is mean to animals.

This day my dog Missy is suffering from a neurological disease. I hurt for her. The medication seems to help. We are not sure of her future. I hate to lose my friend.

After over 10 years I still miss my other dog Buddy. He was tragically killed, hit by a speeding van. My heart was broken and I still miss Buddy and here I am facing the same pain again perhaps.

I love my dogs, but, I doubt I will ever take on this potential for pain again.

There is just something special about a good dog.
