THE LIFE OF A POLICE DOG
You brought me home, one sunny day. With you for years, I would surely stay. I met your pack, the children & wife, I loved my new home and my new life.
 

I slept on your couch, at the foot of your bed, You looked at me lovingly while petting my head.
For months we did train and our bonding grew, We're both partners & buddies in blue.
 

We did school demos and never did wrong, Over the years, my love did grow strong.
How I loved to work, stand up and bark, In the back of our car, from light until dark.
 

We went call to call, having fun all the way, Until the call came on that one fateful day.
A man with a gun, the dispatcher did say, I jumped from my car when it pointed your way.
Before leaving home, I was told by your wife, I knew at that moment, I'd give you my life.
The bullet struck hard, steady and true, The bullet struck me, instead not strike you.
 

When you go home, tell your wife I did good, Strong, tall and proud on the ground that I stood.
I'm dead and gone now, this much is so true, But I've done my job well in protecting you.

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.


There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.


The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
