Trust in me my friend for I am your comrade. I will protect you with my last
breath when all others
have left you and the loneliness of the night closes
in, I will be at your side.
Together we will conquer all obstacles, and
search out those who might wish harm to others. All I
ask of you is
compassion, the caring touch of your hands. It is for you that I will
unselfishly give
my life and spend my nights unrested. Although our days
together may be marked by the
passing of the seasons know that each day at
your side is my reward.
My days are measured by the coming and going of
your footsteps. I anticipate them at every
opening of the door. You are the
voice of caring when I am ill. The voice of authority when I've
done
wrong.
Do not chastise me unduly for I am your right arm, the sword at
your side. I attempt to do only
what you bid of me. I seek only to please you
and remain in your favor.
Together you and I shall experience a bond only
others like us will understand when outsiders
see us together their envy will
be measured by their disdain.
I will quietly listen to you and pass no
judgment, nor will your spoken words be repeated, I will
remain ever silent,
ever vigilant, ever loyal. And when our time together is done and you move
on
in the world remember me with kind thoughts and tales, for a time we were
unbeatable,
nothing passed among us undetected.
If we should meet
again on another street I will gladly take up your fight, I am a Police
Working
Dog and together We are guardians of the night.
