    About this ebook

    I realized after writing Rockys Forever Home that our canine family member Rocky still has tales to tell. Out of the desire to narrate and be his voice, this second book was born.
    This poem is a tribute to our Rocky:
    Rocky
    For our Rocky who
    lives his life as a
    tale of unconditional
    love for all.

    The Lord of our
    lives provided this
    bundle of wet nose,
    wet kisses and
    wagging tail to
    remind us of
    peacemaking and
    forgiveness.

    We love you
    Rocky for
    reminding us of
    that which matters
    most in life
    to love unconditionally.
