Retirement Day from Search Dog by Elemental Magic

(Verse 1)
I remember the day it all began,
A young pup with dreams, I was learning the plan,
Finding the mark, it wasn’t so clear,
But with patience and love, you wiped away fear.
The scent was a mystery, the world so wide,
But you were beside me, my faithful guide.
Through trials and errors, I found my way,
And step by step, we grew stronger each day.

(Chorus)
Oh, I was just a pup with a heart full of fire,
Learning to search, climbing higher and higher.
That first certification, oh, what a day,
You smiled so wide, we celebrated our way.
Now as the years have come and gone,
I’ve run my race, but my heart beats on.
Though my paws may rest, and I step aside,
I’ll always be a search dog deep inside.

(Verse 2)
I recall the pride in your eyes that night,
When I found my mark, I knew it was right.
We laughed, we played, you praised me true,
Said, "There's nothing we can't get through."
The years swept by like a gentle breeze,
We helped so many, brought hearts to ease.
All the people found, all the wrongs made right,
In the darkest of days, we were the light.

(Chorus)
Oh, I was just a pup with a heart full of fire,
Learning to search, climbing higher and higher.
That first certification, oh, what a day,
You smiled so wide, we celebrated our way.
Now as the years have come and gone,
I’ve run my race, but my heart beats on.
Though my paws may rest, and I step aside,
I’ll always be a search dog deep inside.

(Bridge)
Now it’s time to put my paws up high,
Watch the world go by, beneath a quiet sky.
But inside, there’s still that burning flame,
I’ll always remember the joy, the game.
You taught me to search, you taught me to care,
Together we were the perfect pair.

(Chorus)
Oh, I was just a pup with a heart full of fire,
Learning to search, climbing higher and higher.
That first certification, oh, what a day,
You smiled so wide, we celebrated our way.
Now as the years have come and gone,
I’ve run my race, but my heart beats on.
Though my paws may rest, and I step aside,
I’ll always be a search dog deep inside.

(Outro)
Yes, I’ll always be a search dog, loyal and true,
Forever remembering, forever with you.
