Story Behind The Song
My dog Niki ran away & after 2 months of searching, posters, rewards etc. we found her. She was in bad shape but got back to good health & lived to be 18 years old. We called her Ghost Dawg because she was white & very fast like a ghost

Lyrics
She runs like the wind, no one can catch her now
So close to home yet so far away
So scared & alone, Ghost Dawg come home
The night is her friend when no one can see her now
A streak of white, gone in the night
So cold & alone, Ghost Dawg come home
She lives off the land & does what she can
Scraps in the field & garbage cans
So hungry & alone, Ghost Dawg come home
She hunts like the wolf, like many before her
The will to survive keeps her alive
So brave & alone, Ghost Dawg come home
A call in the night, someone has seen her
No thought of reward just doing what's right
Soon you won't be alone, Ghost Dawg come home
100 nights she put up a fight
Just skin & bones but the heart of a lion
No longer alone, Ghost Dawg is home
No longer alone, Ghost Dawg is home
