This is my dog!

There are many like it but this is mine.
My dog is my best friend.
It is my live.
I must master it as I master my live.
My dog without me is useless.
Without my dog, I am lost.
I must handle my dog always true.
I must handle my dog better than any other handler.
My dog and myself know that what counts in our profession it is not the number of days we go to work, nor the noise of our bark,
we know it is the rescued human being what counts.

My dog has personality, even as I.
It is my live.
Thus, I will learn it as brother.
I will learn its weakness, its strength, its needs and its desires.
I will keep my dog clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.

We will become a part of each other.
