My name was "Radar" because I could not hear. My world was silent yet I felt no fear. Because you gave me a warm, loving home.
To live my life, to never be alone. You were my master, you were my friend. And I loved you until the very end. You kept me safe, and loved me so, until it was my time to go. I didn't want to say goodbye. But knew I had to really try. To find a way to let you know. To say I love you before letting go. So I looked up to your loving face. As you held me with your warm embrace. And I cried out to you the only way that I knew how. And barked "I love You", I must go now. As my life began to drift away. I heard your cries for me to stay. But it was time, so don't be sad. You gave me the best life I could have ever had. I'm now in heaven, so please don't fear. I have no pain now, and yes, I can hear! I know I'll see you again some day, in another life, not so far away. So I'll wait for you, so we can again be together. For you are my best friend, forever and ever...
