Quotes and Peoms
Old age means realising you will never own all the dogs you wanted to.
Joe Gores
In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn’t merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of
it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog.
Edward Hoagland
The more I see of men, the more I like dogs.
Madame de Stael
No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as a dog does.
Christopher Morley
The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he
not scold you, he will make a fool of himself too.
Samuel Butler
A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three
times before lying down.
Robert Benchley
I don’t understand, he’s never, ever, done that before!!

Guardians of the Night
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 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 the opening of the door.
You are the voice of caring when I am ill.
The voice of authority over me 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 you 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 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 ever meet again on another field
I will gladly take up your fight.
I am a Police Working Dog and together
We are GUARDIANS of the NIGHT
