BUDDY, MY BEST PAL

Buddy is/was/has been my companion for almost ten years now. From the moment I brought him home as a tiny puppy, he's always been there/by my side/with me. He's the most loving creature. We go on daily walks in the park/adventures in the backyard/long hikes together, and he's always eager to learn new tricks/happy just to be near me/my cuddle buddy
