George 's Story
George, a gentle Swedish shepherd and Rottweiler mix, was a first and best friend, always protecting those he loved, whether chasing a bully dog at Staunton park or patiently enduring Lola's playful licks. He filled every day with joyous adventures, from spirited zoomies and wrestling in the living room to racing off-leash at Coyner Springs Park and eagerly awaiting Laurie's arrival. Now, he runs free in tall grass, enjoying endless treats, and playing with his sister Kisses, surrounded by love.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Verse 1
When our mothers brought us near,
You watched me with an gentle stare.
I was tiny, just a little sprite,
You always held me safe and tight.
Remember when you chased a foe,
At the dog park, long ago?
Bullying me, you wouldn't stand,
My protector, close at hand.
Chorus
Oh, George, my first friend, my heart's true beat,
For almost nine years, our lives complete.
Your loyalty a guiding star,
No matter how far you are.
Verse 2
Loved your backyard, chasing round the tree,
Playing zoomies, just you and me.
Tug of war and wrestling in the room,
Always banishing any shade of gloom.
Mimi's hotdogs, a special, tasty treat,
Then waiting by the window, barking to greet.
Car rides to Bo's, hills we would roam,
With matching hoodies, bringing joy to our home.
Chorus
Oh, George, my first friend, my heart's true beat,
For almost nine years, our lives complete.
Your loyalty a guiding star,
No matter how far you are.
Verse 3
A gentle giant, with a loving soul,
With Laurie, through the neighborhood you'd stroll.
My mom, Jodi's toys, you held so dear,
Especially that tire, year after year.
Your beautiful smile, a warming grace,
Reflected the love in every space.
You knew you were cherished, day and night,
Filling our lives with pure delight.
Chorus
Oh, George, my first friend, my heart's true beat,
For almost nine years, our lives complete.
Your loyalty a guiding star,
No matter how far you are.
Bridge
Don't you worry, George, enjoy your time,
I'll watch your mom, a love sublime.
It's a party up there, where spirits roam,
You'll always be my best friend, my first, my home.
Instrumental - harmonica, acoustic guitar
Final Chorus
Oh, George, my first friend, my heart's true beat,
For almost nine years, our lives complete.
Your loyalty a guiding star,
No matter how far you are.
Outro
I see you running, free and tall,
Eating everything, answering nature's call.
Playing with Kisses, a joyful sound,
With Marion, Ryan, Josephine, safe and sound.
Outro - guitar fade
