He was a good dog and he'll be missed.

a dog is often the better part of a man.

Jeff, I'm not sure if you picked this up somewhere or if it is your own
poetry, but it is damned-spot-on. Just placing your hand on your dogs warm
head as he looks at you with all the trust in his being makes you a better
person - even if for just that moment. At that point in time, a man would no
more do harm to the world than to harm himself.
