My protector.
You feel who I am.
Spirit animal—
Friend—
Companion.
Those who have tasted fear
From within—
Who have survived,
Thrived—
Came out firewalkers.
No one will know you
Like I do.
No one will know me
Like you do.
Companion—
Friend—
Spirit animal.
You who feel who I am.
My protector.

- Comment from author about the poem: Dedicated to my old girl, Chloe, who still has pep in her step. She’s a rescue—and like her dad, she has an anxiety disorder. The other day, in the middle of a panic attack, she sensed something was wrong. She came over, kissed my face, then turned and sat with her back to me—guarding me. After that, she did a sweep of the house, came back, and sat down again, still on alert. Animals have an emotional intelligence that far surpasses that of human beings. This poem captures that moment.

It is interesting how there can be such a strong bond between a dog and man. I have had dogs and other animals with which I have had such a bond and this poem encapsulates it well. Loved it.
Indeed. Thank you so much, my friend. Indeed, my Chloe is a blessing. A rescue, came out of Texas. She's a beautiful soul who suffers from anxiety, as do I. I often wonder who rescued who. 🤣 Thank you again, Soren! 🐾🦴🌙🤎
If any animal has a soul, it's surely a dog. Loyal, doting, Chloe in a poem oozing with love. You are very lucky, Tristan to have such a grand companion.
Wishing you, fine health and happiness.
Tony.
Indeed, I am the luckiest. She's such a blessing to me. I'm her rescue, no doubt! 😜 Thank you, Tony, for your kind words of support and understanding. Much appreciated my friend. 🐾🦴🌙🤎
Good write T. Does Mr OWK have any pets?! 🙂
Not sure, but if he did it would be a Loth-wolf! LOL! Thank you, my dear friend! 🐾🦴🌙🤎
Sublime and alive with connection🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you so much, my dear friend! 🐾🦴🌙🤎
Most welcome Tristan. That is precious. I would’ve had my own if I weren’t allergic. 🕊🙏🏻
Yeah. That kinda puts a damper on things, doesn't it? Do you have any other pets?
Not at present. But we had all sorts of pets over the years, even digital tamagochi ones, lol! Last year we babysat a couple of dachshunds - not a mean feat having to work around the allergy and all. 🙏🏻🕊️
Tamagochis ruled! Yessss! Rock on, my friend!
I’ve never had any pets but I love animals ..
a nice writing
Yeah definately not nice to feel ways that make one upset .
Thank you, my dear friend. I have pretty much always had pets. Right now we have two dogs and two cats in our house. Chloe is the eldest, 11 3/4 yrs old, but still a young soul, despite arthritis. We rescued Chloe...though I think she rescued me, actually! 🤣 Thank you so much for your feedback and hope that one day you might be able to have a fur baby of your own. 🐾🦴🌙🤎
Lovely write,its a shame they cannot talk verbally, because they know us better than we ever give them credit for, all the best to the old girl.
You are so right, they know us so well! Thank you, my friend. I gave her a good pet on your behalf and she kissed me and wagged her tail! So, she sends her love back! Thanks again for your support and feedback, Tobani. Much appreciated my friend. Happy Sunday to you! 🐾🦴🌙🤎
You are very welcome
Excellent write Tristan
Thank you so much, Tony! 🐾🦴🌙🤎
She looks like a wise old girl, she is really beautiful, I hope you find the root cause to your panic attacks dear Tristan, not nice to know you suffer this and I wish you nothing but healing. We all go through times in life with some sort of trauma even when we do not feel or know it. Hugs my friend, Chloe is a true beauty. 🌹
Thank you, Teddy. I am certainly a work in progress, but we all are in one regard or another. To be human, right? Thank you so much, my friend. Your words of empathy and support mean the world to me. Much appreciated. 🙏🐾🦴🌙🤎
RIP Chloe. Similar to me, when one of our guinea pigs got elderly and poorly, in my poem 'Goodbye little friend'.
Yes. Thank you, Orchi! I touches me that you came here to pay Chloe tribute. She's no doubt sending you spirit doggy kisses, her specialty. So if you wake up with a wet face...don't be shocked! LOL!
