WAR DOGS
Honoring the various breeds of dogs
that have served in the wars
our country has fought

AN AMERICAN WAR DOG
by Rober J. Robicheau

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

This monument is a gift from the group known as WAR DOGS, founded by Carol Singer and Karen Idlag in 1999 to give honor to the breeds of dogs used in the U.S. Military.
