"Called To Give My All""
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This poem is dedicated to veteran K-9 handler, Dennis Spruell of the Cortez Police Dept and his first partner Lobo, who was killed in the line of duty.

Dennis you are a person that is highly looked to for guidance and inspiration.

~~Michael Marston Jr.


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