I adopted an eight-year-old spitz this year, who looks like an Arctic Fox, and acts like a fox. He's had two previous owners and was once badly abused. I've fallen in love with him. Jim Colyer -- I know, I KNOW...80 million dogs and counting...

Profound Devotion

One look at your face and I'm gone
The way you love me is never wrong
In a stealthy way you catch my eye
I dread the day we'll say goodbye

You're not the typical kind of guy
You're kind of foxy, kind of shy
When you take me on our wild runs
I feel like I'm your chosen one

CHORUS
You stand sometimes uncertain
On the edge of my emotions
But you jump into that ocean
Full of trust and profound devotion

We explore like children in the woods
So breathless I throw off my hood
You adore me like no other will
From you I'll never get my fill

You have this mysterious way
Like you might disappear one day
I feel deep down you'll never stray
But just the same I stop and pray

Bridge
Sakari, I'm so sorry*
You were hurt before
When you came to me I swore
Your pain would be no more

CHORUS
You stand sometimes uncertain
On the edge of my emotions
But you jump into that ocean
Full of trust and profound devotion

*Per Colin's idea, I added the name of my dog -- Sakari (rhymes with "safari"). I hope this works?! Thanks, Colin!
