    Guardians Of The Night
    Author - Unknown
    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.
