Oh, so sad, Angelo. One of the hardest things humans have to endure. Dogs are so special --damn, tears are flowing now. A wonderful tribute that brings chills through memories. Thank you.
Enjoy whatever happens! marty

Beautiful tribute. Know how it feels. Our dog passed away almost 2 years ago. We made a tune for her (with BIAB) when she was still alive and kicking, with video. Here it is: https://youtu.be/3qEPssYstlo
Last summer we went to the local dog shelter and found a 10 year old one. Looks very much like her. We're very happy with him now.

Very pretty, indeed. They're more than dogs, as you know. Friend, companion, agitator (ha), a special source of comfort, and so many other things. We have a 10 year-old dachshund - Lucy. She graces the cover of one of my guitar instrumentals. Here she is (she's the black one on the left, with her sister): https://soundcloud.com/alananddi/comfort-zone
She was 6 months old in the pic. Our oldest son passed from kidney cancer and Lucy was the last "thing" he gave my wife before he died. So, she's pretty special. It will be really tough when her time comes.
Your song is genuinely beautiful. Love the chords - I'm kind of a chord guy - play a lot of smooth jazz. And you got a really nice sound from that Fender Mustang. That's the first time I've seen one in many years. But yeah, what a sweet tone!
Lovely tribute to a fine friend. They are our 'children' so to speak and give us unqualified and total Love and trust. Our Molly passed in May at 13.1/2 yrs old and we are still not over it. Bests Ian

Thank you! Yes, I agree, people who don't have (or like) pets can't understand. When you do lose one, it's like losing a relative..
What a wonderful tribute. The gentle approach paints the emotion. Beautifully played and your use of inversions was genius. Well played and thoughrougly enjoyed the sound canvass. All the best Chris
A fine tribute with that short scale goodness. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much for your kind words!

Thank you! I tried to add a little sentimental touch in the middle and at the end indeed. Thanks again!

Thank you Chris! I love chords, I started loving them when listening Allan Holdsworth for the 1st time (he was a genius and second to none). Have a great day!
Angelo, very nice tribute, excellent playing and video. Animals are in many ways are so much better than us, it is sad when they go. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much! I totally agree with your statement, pets love us in a way we struggle to love others. Have a great Sunday!
