An American War Dog |

|
I am an American war dog
I obey orders from my brave handler
My job is to find, save, help and comfort
I try to do the best that I can
Being faithful is everything to me
Staying alert, I must always be
When my name is called out
Proudly I stand to serve with love
I so try to do what is asked of me
If I die on duty, please remember
I am an American war dog
And my brave handler is my best friend
God gave me a life to love and give
And to be there when there is need
The time may come for my duty to end
And I will proudly be a K9 Corp Veteran
It will be hard for me to stop serving
I'll want to continue, but know I cannot
Remember those like me who don't go to war
Many have duties that are so very important
I am an American war dog
And I have the best friend in the world |
