Hoku's Story
Hoku, the spirited German Shepherd and Husky mix, always greeted you with such loving enthusiasm upon your return home, a heartwarming ritual that never faded, even with age. He was a magnificent leader, guiding ATV runs on Thompson Road like a true sled dog, even having the memorable experience of meeting Oprah. Though often an alpha "pain in the butt," Hoku was deeply loved and is now at peace, forever home.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, banjo
Verse 1
From a pup, a shepherd's loyal heart, a husky's wild grace,
For fourteen years, you filled this special place.
Every day when I came through the door,
Your loving approach, what I lived for.
Even as your steps began to slow,
That joyful welcome never ceased to glow.
A happy bark, a wagging tail,
Through every sun and every gale.
Chorus
Oh, Hoku, my star, my guiding light,
Through fourteen years, you made everything bright.
My loyal friend, my heart's true beat,
Life with you was always bittersweet.
Verse 2
On Thompson Road, the ATV would hum,
You'd lead the way, like a beating drum.
My lead sled dog, with spirit bold,
A hundred tales of courage to be told.
That's where you met Oprah, a moment so grand,
A legend you created across the land.
A flash of fur, a powerful stride,
Always right there, close by my side.
Chorus
Oh, Hoku, my star, my guiding light,
Through fourteen years, you made everything bright.
My loyal friend, my heart's true beat,
Life with you was always bittersweet.
Bridge
You were always the Alfa, a pain in the butt, it's true,
But my deep love for you, it always grew.
Every mischievous glance, every playful chase,
You filled my life with joy and grace.

Final Chorus
Oh, Hoku, my star, my guiding light,
Through fourteen years, you made everything bright.
My loyal friend, my heart's true beat,
Life with you was always bittersweet.
Outro - acoustic guitar fade
Now you're home, peaceful and free,
Running with my father, for all eternity.
In heaven's fields, no limits to your run,
Resting now, your new journey begun.
