A pup was born four years ago
A beautiful Tri coat was his own

Stormy his mom kissed him on the ear
And no one noticed it missing until they glared

He grew into a proud young man
And loved to show and had mom as his biggest fan

He traveled far with Ronda on weekends
To make it to the Basenji Top Ten

Lucky are we that we don't know
What the road ahead has in store

When darkness settled to claim Vinnie
Our Prince of Tides
We did not know
How to win this gruesome fight

Even now when he's gone
He will always belong to the ones
Who loved him with their souls

By the Rainbow Bridge he will wait
And until it is your faith to meet
You can visit him in your dreams and memories

Vinnie, Rest in Peace - You will never be forgotten
