I wrote this song as a tribute to my dog, Lobo, a Bichon Frise who was my friend and constant companion for 15 years.
I was came up with the song during one of our regular midnight walks, about a year before he died and I would often sing it to him as we walked along.
(most people talk to their dogs, so what's wrong with singing to them ?)

The song wasn't the first thing on my mind when he died, after a heart attack resulting from a bad fall, but when it eventually came to mind I decided to record it as a tribute.

The grief one suffers when a dog dies is well documented and is hard to describe to anyone who has never owned and lost a dog, but anyone who HAS will know exactly how bad it hurts.

What I will say, is that it is one of life's great injustices that dogs have such a short lifespan.

To have a dog as a friend is to open your heart to profound joy and eventually to equally profound sadness.

This one's for you Lobo !
