-- If you've ever wondered what your dog really thinks of you, questioned whether they love you as much as you love them, or simply melted at the sight of those trusting eyes waiting by the door, recording artist Woody Bradshaw's latest single speaks directly to your heart. Perfectly timed with National Dog Week, he released "Bestest Ever Friend," a touching 2-minute, 47-second ode to the unconditional love shared between humans and their canine companions.
"Bestest Ever Friend" is narrated from the dog's point of view, giving listeners a glimpse into the pure, unwavering devotion our pets feel for us. This creative approach sets the track apart in a genre filled with songs about faithful companions, yet rarely told from the animal's perspective.
The inspiration for the song comes from Bradshaw's own life-changing experience with Bailey, a chocolate Labrador who came into his life during a difficult period following a breakup in 2013. What began as a temporary foster arrangement in Pensacola quickly became a profound bond that lasted five years and fundamentally changed his understanding of unconditional love.
"Bailey taught me something I'd never experienced before," Bradshaw shares. "The way dogs love us is pure perfection. No matter how you treat them, their love never wavers. People can be conditional and fickle, but a dog's love is unwavering."
The song captures everyday moments that dog owners everywhere will recognize—the morning wake-up calls, the neighborhood walks, and the way our pets make everything better just by being there. In the bridge, Bradshaw delivers what he considers the heart of the song: the realization that humans are their pets' entire world.
Woody Bradshaw has been developing this concept for years. The idea crystallized during the Bailey years, coinciding with the release of several dog-centered movies narrated by canines, including A Dog's Purpose and The Art of Racing in the Rain. He realized that while many songs have been written about beloved pets, few truly capture the dog's perspective on their human relationships.
Bradshaw brings his background as both an actor and musician to this heartfelt performance. Before pursuing music full-time, he worked in television in New York City and later in Los Angeles under the guidance of manager Jerry Silverhardt, who discovered Tom Cruise. However, after witnessing a live performance by songwriter Jimmy Webb, he realized his true calling was music and relocated to Nashville.
"Bestest Ever Friend" follows Bradshaw's recent releases, including "Hallelujah" earlier this year and his Pensacola tributes "It's Good to Be Home" and "The Blues Are Back in Town," the latter celebrating the city's famous Blue Angels aerobatic team.
This song is a love letter for anyone who has experienced the special bond with a four-legged family member. Its joyful tone and relatable message make it suitable for both music lovers and animal lovers alike, with potential for animated films, charitable campaigns for animal welfare organizations, and National Dog Week celebrations nationwide. Millions of pet owners will recognize that sometimes our “bestest ever friend” walks on four legs and loves us more than we probably deserve.
