I went to the shelter to find a friend I saw your face
Small and weak a fragile thing took you home under my wing
Nursed you back through every pain together we found strength again
You were my light in darkest night with your love we took flight
Oh Lucky girl you saved my soul
In my darkest days you made me whole
A shepherd's heart a brindle coat
In our love we found our hope
Through the years you stayed by my side
Then with my folks you ran and thrived
In the yard with Jake Max Duke
A loyal friend forever true
As time went by you grew old
But your spirit brave and bold
Oh Lucky girl you saved my soul
In my darkest days you made me whole
A shepherd's heart a brindle coat
In our love we found our hope
With your paw upon my leg
You'd always greet no need to beg
Spoiled by sis loved by all
You stood strong even through the fall
But then your eyes they lost their sight
And I knew it was time for that final night
Oh Lucky girl you saved my soul
In my darkest days you made me whole
A shepherd's heart a brindle coat
In our love we found our hope
Now you rest free from pain
In my heart you'll remain
A loyal friend a hero true
Oh Lucky girl I owe it all to you
