Shep, My First Dog

We had a girl dog named Shep.
She was a mixed breed as all the dogs we had.
But there is something about her that I want to bring out.
She was a friend to me and helped me to better accept myself.
Shep was wise beyond me and knew how to change how I felt.
She gave everything she had for me to be kind to myself of which she wanted me to do.
I loved the first dog we ever had and think of her this morning as being a help meet for me.
If there is such a thing as a doggy heaven though I know there isn't one Shep would be there.
For she made the world a much better place for me to live.
She was a powerhouse of strength and courage.
I never had to fear when she was with me.
