Well done and captivating, Ted! And I think the lyrics are great.

Lyrics:
Intro
Oh my muddy fellow traveler
I’m forever in your debt
You showed me how to stop and smell the roses
And pee on them

Verse
When you came into my life
The Earth was flat
I didn’t have time for nothin’ or no-one
Livin’ deep inside my head
You quickly diagnosed the problem
And promptly prescribed me a walk
On the hunt for hidden fortunes in the flower beds
Out there beyond my block

Chorus
You’re my canine life coach
You’re my furry ambassador
You’re my downward doggie guru
Tell me who knew I would love you so
You pulled me out of my rut and out that door

Verse
Who knew the gruff old man
Had a twinkle in his eye
Or the lady with the stroller
Would tell her kids to say hi
Never expected my next-door neighbors
Would have so much to say
Funny how the walls tumble down
With the wag of a tail

Chorus

Verse
You taught me that time is precious
Oh my how dog years fly
You will have lived another week
By my next sunrise
Now I know why you charge ahead
Sniffing so urgently
Then turn and look at me as if to say
Hey buddy are you coming with me

Bridge
Hey buddy are you coming with me
Woowoowoo are you coming with me
Huh huh huh are you coming with me
Woowoowoo are you coming with me

Chorus

Verse
One day we’ll reach the end of your road
We’ll take your leash off at the river Styx
I’ll lay you gently in that boat
And check you for fleas and ticks
Over on the far shore
You’ll meet your brother Cerberus
He’s a three-headed St. Bernard
With three tails wagging and triple the licks

Bridge

In the Belly of the Beast They Found a Beating Heart
