D'artagnan (Dart),

You were more than just a pet; you were my guardian and most of all my best friend. Everyone says their dog is the best, but you, my friend truly were. Through my chronic illness, you stood by my side, always sweet and attentive, always ready to help however you could. You had an intuition that went beyond comprehension, letting me know something was not right, even before I knew myself.

Your spirit filled our home with joy. You, my special boy are terribly missed. Your pretense brought an irreplaceable warmth to our lives, and there will forever be a special place for you in our hearts. You've left paw and nose prints that will never fade, and special memories that will always bring a smile to my face. Rest easy sweet boy. Know that you are loved now and forever. All my love, mama, daddy and the littles.
