I Gave My All

Author - Unknown

I am a deputy in a canine crew.

I have been trained to see it through.

When danger is near my ears perk up,

They taught me that when I was a pup.

I am often there to protect your rights,

My presence sometimes hinders fights,

I never attack with thought to kill,

When subduing one, my job I fulfill.

I never worry a single thought,

As to how I will fare at a certain spot.

The love I have for a handler's care,

Is all I need, each day to fare.

And if some day my luck turns bad,

I will relish the joys I have ever had.

To be with men who stand for good,

In a special kind of "brotherhood."

The story's end by now you know,

Of how I tried for a better show,

When I was called and I gave my all.

*the word deputy may be substituted
