Coco

He was a mighty brute. The sight of him often made people shudder. Children ran away at the sight of him. He had a harsh exterior. He was big. He was loud. New people made him jumpy and that scared people away.
But his eyes could make you weep. Once he got to know you, and you him, he would come to you, overflowing with love. He was loving. And he was gentle. And all he needed was some love. Some attention and love, and there goes his tail, wagging away so hard it could knock you off your feet.
He was the reason they say dogs are your best friends.
Happy birthday Coco. You know how much we miss you.
