犬種ごとの、お別れ

expressive eyebrows that broadcast every mood across the room.

a nose that has its own agenda and the body politely following along.

a personality the size of a Great Dane in the body of a loaf of bread.

walking into any space as if they own it.

being a small dog with a giant capacity to love.

walking through life as if everyone exists to admire them—and being right.

looking permanently photoshopped into a state of joy.

living an unreasonably long time and being unreasonably loyal the entire way.

a face engineered to charm every human who has ever lived.

an aura of soft cloudlike presence in any room.

eyes that have made grown adults agree to anything.

staying puppy-like in spirit for almost their entire lives.

looking like a small Lassie and acting exactly as devoted.

a tuxedo-marked coat over a heart that takes its job as your friend very seriously.

a beard that grows in personality faster than fur.

understanding far more of what you say than they ever let on.

a thousand-word vocabulary of howls, whines, and arguments.

inventing a job to do if you forget to give them one.

a coat that holds three colors and a personality that holds three jobs at once.

occupying the exact center of any couch you wanted to sit on.

turning every stranger into a friend within thirty seconds.

a tail that wags so hard it shakes their entire body.

choosing one person and quietly devoting their entire life to them.

staying a puppy in spirit long after the gray appears.

being a 100-pound dog who believes they are a lap dog.

a powerful exterior over a heart that breaks if you raise your voice.

fitting an enormous body into the smallest space beside you.

being a small pony who genuinely believes they are a lap dog.

being a 200-pound dog who somehow always finds a way to be touching you.

being the closest thing to a furry, walking radiator.
