I met Richard at a work event in Nashville ten plus years ago where he was a guest speaker. At that time I thought he said the song was written because the dog was hit by the garbage truck and one of Amanda’s brown eyes turned blue. Now hearing this it seems the incident took place well after the song was written. I’ve told my version of the story to so many people since then. Amazing how history has a way of being recorded based on the little nuances.

Thank you so much for sharing that! That's actually a better story than lost love. It's a story of Man's best Friend's love. That hit me right in the heart because I love my Little Brown dogs (Boykins) so much 🐕🤎💙

I loved that song as a kid growing up in the 70’s! I also loved Crystal Gale! Not only did she have an angelic voice (silky smooth) but she also a beautiful woman. I have been listening to it again recently and it’s nice to know the story behind it! Dogs are awesome and the guy who threw the rock? Not a nice person at all. But I thought poor Crystal wrote it after a terrible breakup!! 🤔 ha,ha . Great song that’s for sure Richard thanks for writing wonderful song that I still love.

Our local Elks Lodge had a fund raiser for Children...Beach Babes. We had to choose a song and a character. I dressed like Crystal Gayle and this was the song I chose. Great fun.

i want to know why this song is in the key of F#. It hurts my brain to sit down at the piano to try and play it.

Guapo… igual que siempre. 😁 Pero debería cántala 1 tono más bajo…😅 (los años no pasan en vano! Jajaja! ) Handsome as usual. But she should sing it 1 tone lower. 😅 (the years do not pass in vain!.. Hahaha!) 👋🏻 desde Chile 🇨🇱!

Someone should ask him about Paul Palmer. There is a difference story about this song
