For Candice — In Memory of Dom

From the very first moment your paths aligned,
he looked at you as if he’d already known
that your heart was the one he’d call home,
the place his spirit would forever belong.

Dom chose you—not by chance,
but with the quiet certainty
only a loyal soul can carry.
And you loved him with that same steady truth.

He walked beside you with gentle strength,
a mix of pitbull courage, shar pei wisdom,
and bull mastiff devotion—
wrapped in warm red-brown fur
and a heart even larger than his frame.

He watched over every child,
every gathering,
every corner of your world,
because loving your family
was part of loving you.

And though his paws no longer echo on the floor,
his presence still lives
in the soft spaces of memory—
in the warmth he left behind,
in the comfort he gave,
in the bond that will never break.

Candice, he was yours,
and you were his—
a promise that doesn’t end,
even when goodbyes arrive too soon.

May you always feel him near,
in the quiet moments,
in the gentle stillness,
in the unshakable love
that remains.

Run free, sweet Dom—
your heart stays with Candice.
