Hi, Gunner the Beagle here!
My name is Gunner, and I’m a beagle dog! Wait, I already said
that—sorry, I’m just so excited because I’m on this website
thing. What’s a “website?” I have no idea—I’m a dog! My person set this up and said he’ll “post” my thoughts, no matter how many there are. Two things: one, I can’t count (but I just did… weird!), and two, thoughts and posts sound pretty cool!
I’m the furry, four-legged companion to my person. Wherever he
goes, I have to go too. My favorite thing in the world was riding in
the truck, just the two of us. I’d curl up on the seat, close to him, feeling happy and safe. Sometimes he’d pick me up to get in, and I’d let out a little “oof,” my way of saying, “This is the best!”
At night, I’d cuddle up close and soak in his warmth (shhh, don’t tell him that part). No matter what we were doing, my favorite place was always by his side. I’m his dog, and he’s my person—it’s as simple and special as that.
But one day, something happened, and I had to go away. I got
sleepy and woke up in a magical place filled with other dogs who are
happy, whole, and full of life. It’s called the Rainbow Bridge, a place where dogs wait for their hoomans. It’s wonderful here, but I miss my person. And I know he misses me too.
He missed me so much that he wrote something called a “book.”
Actually, he wrote two books! They’re called Gunner, A Beagle’s Story and Gunner, Dreams of My Person. They’re all about us, our bond, and what “forever” really means. They tell the story of how much I loved him and how much he loved me—because he was my person, and I was his dog.
I hope you read them. They’re my way of saying I’ll always be
with him, just like he’ll always be with me.
