    There was a song called "Old Shep". Is that the one you are talking about?

    Old Shep Lyrics
    Artist - Elvis Presley
    (words & music by Foley - Westpar)


    When I was a lad
    And old Shep was a pup
    Over hills and meadows we'd stray
    Just a boy and his dog
    We were both full of fun
    We grew up together that way

    I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
    When I would have drowned beyond doubt
    But old Shep was right there
    To the rescue he came
    He jumped in and then pulled me out

    As the years fast did roll
    Old Shep he grew old
    His eyes were fast growing dim
    And one day the doctor looked at me and said
    I can do no more for him Jim

    With hands that were trembling
    I picked up my gun
    And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
    I just couldn't do it
    I wanted to run
    I wish they would shoot me instead

    He came to my side
    And looked up at me
    And laid his old head on my knee
    I had struck the best friend that a man ever had
    I cried so I scarcely could see

    Old Shep he has gone
    Where the good doggies go
    And no more with old Shep will I roam
    But if dogs have a heaven
    There's one thing I know
    Old Shep has a wonderful home

    Was it from the movie, "Raising Arizona"? Holly Hunter was singing to the baby a very old song called. "Rose Connelly". It was also called "Down in the Willow Garden".
