Trust in me my friend for I am your comrade.
I will protect you with my last breath.
When all others have left you
And the loneliness of the night closes in,
I will be at your side.

Together we will conquer all obstacles
And search out those who might wish harm to others.
All I ask of you is compassion,
The caring touch of your hands.
It is for you that I will selflessly give my life
And spend my nights unrested.

Although our days together
May be marked by the passing of the seasons.
Know that each day at your side is my reward.
My days are measured by
The coming and going of your footsteps.
I anticipate them at the opening of the door.
You are the voice of caring when I am ill.
The voice of authority over me when I’ve done wrong.
Do not chastise me unduly
For I am your right arm,
The sword at your side.

I attempt to do only what you bid of me.
I seek only to please you and remain in your favor.
Together you and I shall experience
A bond only others like you will understand.
When outsiders see us together
Their envy will be measured by their disdain.
I will quietly listen to you
And pass no judgement.
Nor will your spoken words be repeated.
I will remain ever silent,
Ever vigilant, ever loyal.

And when our time together is done
And you move on in the world,
Remember me with kind thoughts and tales.
For a time we were unbeatable,
Nothing passed among us undetected.
If we should ever meet again on another field
I will gladly take up your fight.
I am a Military Working Dog and together
We are GUARDIANS of the NIGHT.

Good post.   :salute

at one point the APBT was America's Dog...it was called the "nanny dog" it would never attack a human except to protect his family...or listening to his owner....it would never attack its owner....and further more they made the worst guard dogs because they loved humans in general.....the were breed to fight dogs but love humans....and they are the greatest dog ever made, but the are almost extinct now. 

the dogs that are attacking people called "pitts" "pitbulls" are not the same dog, the have been breed into a completely new breed, called an AmStaff----American Staffordshire terrier-----

not the same dogs.

The only thing my boys are guily of is not being able to hold their licker! I work with rescues and volunteer at my local shelter. Ive seen pitbulls in horrendous conditions due to abuse some by fire, acid burns and starvation yet they still wag their tails and still want love. They are the most loving and loyal dog you will ever own. They still have the nanny dog blood in them...they will always be the nanny dog! Self appointed guardians to your family. You never have to train them, they know when someone has ill intent.

I did not have the opportunity to work with any of the Pups while I was deloyed...many Sappers were originally tapped to go to England and attend the Mine Dog Course but never got the chance. But they are just as important as the men who partner up with them. They are considered soldiers just the same and it is always sad to see them give their lives to save so many others.

Great thread guys :aok,

Betty, glad to hear you are taking up the fight for pitbulls :aok, all the ones I know that have a good family are wonderfull loving pets.  Being a GSD owner, it always brings a tear to my eye reading through some of this, as I know how smart, loyal, and protective of family, they are.  Mine was a rescue with a very hard puppy hood, but he finally found a loving family in us and has been a great dog. Around family and friends he's as loving as can be, but very wary of strangers (if mommy and daddy aren't around). I never have to lock the doors when he's home  :lol.
