I can help. I love that poem. I first saw it in a book called "Dog Poems." Here is what you are looking for:

He is gone now. He is dead. There is a hurting in my head.

I listen for his bark, his whine. The silence answers. He was mine.

I taught him all the greatest tricks. I had a way of throwing sticks.

So he could catch them, and a ball we bounced against the backyard wall.

I can see him, chasing cats, catching all my uncle's cats.

Drinking water from his bowl. There's a place he had a hole.

To bury bones, but its gone. His footprints fade upon the lawn.

He used to snuggle up on my bed. But now he's gone. He died. he's dead.

also, im pretty sure this line

"can see him, chasing cats, catching all my uncle's cats."

was: "i can see him, chasing cats, catching all the mountain rats."
was it not?
