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 favour.
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 judgement,
nor will your spoken words be repeated. I will remain ever silent, ever
vigilant, and 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.
