[Verse 1]

The most loving creature I’ve ever known,

Was a Dachshund canine that protected our home,

She graced our lives for nine short years,

And left today surrounded by hugs and tears.

[Verse 2]

Sophie was more than our family dog,

With love that smothered us like a fog,

She was the heart and soul of our home,

The source of the “sweet” in our home sweet home.

[Chorus]

A part of my life died today,

Sophie the Dachshund has gone away,

She rests in heaven with our dearly departed

And leaves us to continue the legacy she started.

[Verse 3]

So many lives she truly impressed,

Before it was her time to lay to rest,

So many hearts have felt her love,

She blesses them all now from heaven above.

[Verse 4]

Those short little legs racing across our yard,

Her bark letting everyone know she was on guard,

But her long tail wagged at friend and foe,

And each person’s pat sent her heart aglow

[Chorus]

A part of my life died today,

Sophie the Dachshund has gone away,

She rests in heaven with our dearly departed

And leaves us to continue the legacy she started.

[Bridge]

Sophie leaves behind her little sister,

Our lap dog Honey, her Alpha Mister,

A tiny tot that ruled Sophie’s world

Now Honey’s alone and will miss our girl.

There will be no replacements at our age,

Too much heartache consumes this old sage,

Little Honey will be our final pup,

The love she gives is more than enough.

[Chorus]

A part of my life died today,

Sophie the Dachshund has gone away,

She rests in heaven with our dearly departed

And leaves us to continue the legacy she started
