You can't buy friendship I've always heard

But I bought that too, mark my word!

I bought myself happiness, and a life long pal

whose faith does shine, what a gal.

I bought a companion to be at my side

All that we do, she takes in great stride.

Hiking and camping and walks in the park

When I come home I am greeted with a bark.

I bought a single trusting heart

that gave devotion from the start.

For 9 great years she's been my friend

and always will be until the end.
