Where are you my Zella? Where are you my friend?
I thought you would stay with me right to the end,
My 'humans' are talking, they are telling me things,
But I don't know the words of these 'human' beings.
Who is this 'God' in whose arms that you lay?
And who are the 'angels' that took you away?
If I knew where they lived, I would tear down their door,
And bring you home safe to leave never more.

'humans' are strange, no fur on their paws,
they walk on two legs, instead of all fours,
when I look in their eyes I see so much pain,
don't they know that I love them? Shall I tell them again?
When I blink my eyes slow, it means 'I love you'
Do they understand me? I'm sure that they do.

I know that they love me, I can feel in their touch,
When their paws stroke my head, I can feel it so much.
So why do they cry? They should be looking for 'God',
For he has my Zella, don't he have his own dog?

I don't like the cold and I'm not very brave,
But I'd face anything, if my Zella it would save.
I would lay down my life for my 'humans' too,
For my love is so strong, unconditional and true.

When my 'humans' strange paws tickle my ears,
I feel safe and loved, without any fears,
They talk to me softly and keep me well fed,
But I don't understand when they say "Zella's dead"
So if you can hear me, my Zella, my mate,
I'll wait for you always, by our garden gate.

Love from your 'Brandy'
