[Verse 1]
He walks into the yard like he already owns the air,
Every stranger gets a greeting, every dog gets a stare,
He's got a panel full of buttons and he presses every one,
Broadcasting his feelings to whoever needs to come,
Not a single shy bone running underneath that chest,
He came into this world to play, and playing is his best,

[PreChorus]
The crowd can feel him coming from a mile away,
He was built to fill a room and that's exactly where he'll stay,

[Chorus]
Buddy, steal the ball and run, they'll never catch your joy,
Every park becomes your kingdom, every dog becomes your ploy,
Buddy, you're the gold that doesn't wait to be discovered,
You were chosen by a family and they'll love you till it's over,

[Verse 2]
He knows "sit" and "stay" and "drop it" like the back of his own paw,
But the thing about a king is that a king decides the law,
When the morning light comes creeping and the bed is warm and deep,
He'll maneuver you out gently, take your heat while you're half-asleep,
He never tears a cushion, never leaves a single mark,
Just presses for his breakfast and then rules the whole backyard,

[PreChorus]
He's deliberate and stubborn in the most majestic way,
Knows exactly what he wants and won't be talked out of his say,

[Chorus]
Buddy, bark until they share it, you've got volume and a cause,
Every gesture is a sentence, every silence holds applause,
Buddy, there's no creature that he'll pass without a greeting,
That enormous loyal heart of his has never taken a beating,

[Bridge]
He pressed a button just to say he's happy you are near,
He pressed another one that means he wants you in his sphere,
The warmest spot he gives you every time he steals your place,
Is knowing someone loves you so much he needs your space,

[Verse 3]
He is radiant and fearless with the softest kind of pride,
Never breaking what is precious, always keeping love inside,
He is generous with gladness, he is stubborn in his care,
Chases every tail that's willing, every joy that fills the air,
He's a body full of buttons, he's a legend in the yard,
He arrived to make it brighter, and he's never dropped his guard,

[PreChorus]
The ones who get to love him hold the luckiest of leash,
He is everything they needed just exactly within reach,

[Chorus]
Buddy, you're the anthem playing loud in every hall,
Golden boy who showed them love was never meant to stall,
Buddy, press your buttons, tell the world just what you feel,
Forever isn't long enough for something this real,

[Outro]
The warm spot in the morning and the button pressed at night,
Say Buddy, you were always, always worth the fight,
