K-9
SIRIUS
The
day dawned clear,
we
left for work
Above
us just blue sky
Who
would have thought that shortly
One
of us would die...
That
first plane hit I rushed to help
I
knew that I'd be needed
And
when I said to stay and wait
My
words you gladly heeded...
I
did not make it back to you
I
knew your life was lost
But
I knew you'd understand
Despite
what it had cost...
A
better partner I could not find
So
selfless and so willing
And
when I watched you do your job
I
always found it thrilling...
A
service was set up for you
By
grateful "K-9" brothers
Who
knew you gave your life that day
So
that I may save others

SIRIUS
Dazzling
sparkle in the distance
Brightest
star on earth
closest
to our hear
you
came and shared your light for such a little while
Brought
such brightness, gave such joy...
Now
you shine above and watch from distant skies
As
the guardian you were, as the guardian you are still
Companion,
guide, protector, friend
Partner
and pal on constant alert,
Courageous
and cautious
Patient
and obedient,
Strong
in spirit, gentle in design,
Quick
to defend, eager to follow,
Discipline
for actions, poised for careful command
Sirius...Brillance
in the night,
Star
of the first magnitude,
Hero
of the same
Nine
light years away,
Held
here in our hearts for eternity.
Run
free across the Rainbow Bridge and in green pastures,
You
have done your job well, friend!

SIRIUS
Sirius
my faith full friend;
I
miss you very much!
Not
only were you my best friend
You
was my faithful partner too.
I
left you that September day
I
thought you would be safe
I
put you in your kennel not knowing of your fate.
I
told you stay and wait for me:
I
would be back for you that day:
But
the towers just came crashing in:
I
was trapped and had no way:
There
was dust and rubble all around.
I
simply couldn’t get to you.
On
September 22nd, I went running to the site.
They
said they found your body
I
came to bring you out.
We
carried you with honor
My
faith full friend and pal,
they
draped you with a flag,
They
saluted you with pride.
I
promised I'd come back for you
I
kept that promise to the end
Sirius
I miss you my faithful partner and my friend.

THE
DOGS OF S A R
I
remember the day was clear
And
the scent was good
I
remember the broken glass
Yet
doing what I could
..
I
remember your command
You
said to Go and Seek
And
listen for a weary cry
Although
it may be weak
..
I
remember long days and nights
No
murmur could I hear
I
remember that awful smell
You
told me it was fear
..
I
could not find a living soul
As
I searched with paw and nose
Yet
above this desperate scene
A
new spirit rose
..
A
year has past,new heroes crowned
My
part a passing thought
But
I am proud for what I did
No
recognition sought
..
And
who am I you may now ask
Who
came from near and far
I
am the one so aptly named
A
dog of SAR.
