In Loving Memory

1988-2007

Thank you God for the companion we called Dakota.
He carried me willingly and proudly refusing only when his judgement was better than my own.
Many times his sense of direction proved truer and more reliable.
He kept me safe and my only regret is I could not in the end do the same for him.
I will love him always and remember him forever and if dear Lord,
someday you let me see him again, I will indeed have made it to Heaven.
