The Forever Dog by Cochran, Bill. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780060539399.

No one knows exactly what kind of dog Corky is, but if you ask his owner, Mike, the answer is simple: "Hes my dog." Mike and Corky are best friends; they do everything together. In fact they even make a plan. Mike tells Corky that they will always do everything together—forever. It is their Forever Plan. And it works well. From one year to the next Corky is right there with Mike. Until one day, when Mike comes home from school and Corky isnt there . . . The story of how Mike comes to accept Corkys death forms a simple, poignant portrait of a special friendship that both celebrates the joys of owning a pet and becomes a heartfelt guide for anyone who is coping with the loss of a loved one.
