I am a deputy in a canine crew.  I've been trained to see it through.
When danger's near my ears perk up, they taught me that as a pup.

I'm often there to protect your rights,  my presence often hinders fights.
I never attack with thought to kill, when subduing one, my job I fill.

I never worry a single thought, as to how I'll 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'll relish all the joys I've 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.

I did my best, though I did fall, when I was called and gave my all.
