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 others harm.

All I ask is your compassion and the caring touch of your hands.

It is for you that I selflessly 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 authority when I've done wrong.

Do not chastise me unduly for I am the Sword at your side!

I attempt to do only what you bid 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 judgement.

Nor will your spoken words be repeated.

I will remain ever Silent, ever Vigilant, ever Loyal.

And when out 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 ever meet again on another field,

I will gladly take up your fight.  I am a Police Working Dog and together,

We Are The Guardians Of The Night
