7. my best friend

the youngest boy,
now in high school,
gave you plenty of love.

they say when kids
get their iphones,
they ignore
everything around them.
not the young boy.

he used to run
around the house
with the phone,
trying to get
nice pictures
of you.
he would post them
for the entire world
to see you,
and he always
bragged about you
to his friends.

“my puppy is
my best friend!”
he always said
as he showed them
your pictures.

“i miss puppy”
he would say
just minutes
after leaving the house,
or seconds after
you went with daddy
to bed.

you were like
a child to him.
he always wanted
to pet you,
to cuddle with you,
to hold you
in his arms.

you were his best friend.
