My Best Friend

I was a girl who had an animal
He got a bit older every year
We got him from Toowoomba
From my grandma's old ranch

We raised him from a baby
He scratched, he bit
But then he got tall
And went bark bark bark

He was soft like a bear
But strong like Thor
He kissed me when I was sad
My hair blew back when he was coming

He was the best thing in my life
Just like my friends i have
He was Ridgeback
And i liked him and he was my dog

He was my wind and my life
I will never give him away
He smelt like flowers
And that my dog JACK
