"Who's a good boy!?"
If I barked you barked, you would mimic me back
A tear to my eye reminiscing how your tail vividly wagged
I heard every pet owned eventually mirrors the man
But as brave as you were I know now that isn't a fact
The bond that we built was amazingly real
I buried friends that never led to the pain that I feel
A belly rub brought hope figured it's a part of your coat
I was your teacher at times but you taught me the most
Your sense of smell saved lives still you tinkled on ya toes
You simply did your job yet I enjoyed every wrinkle on your nose
Did you know the difference you made, maybe deep in your core
Or did you keep that soul of a puppy & knew a treat was in store
If it wasn't for you, the evils we face would set the city ablaze
A thought on my mind replaced by the joy shown on your silliest face
I could never forget, that's an image I will hold 'til the end
You were a hero to thousands & more & my only best friend
"C'mere boy, you're a good boy!!"
