The German Shepherd Dog 

I am a canin of noble birth

A German Shepherd Dog – courageous, alert

I protect my master to earn my keep

In grassy fields I guard his sheep

I’ve heard it often said

“no finer dog has yet been bred”

The times have changed, a new day’s dawned

Alas, I find myself in a foreign land

 

I am a canine of noble birth

I protect no man, I guard no herd;

Stripped of my birthright

I carry on A lonely virgil for times long gone

When I learned how to treat a lamb

Or how to control a powerful ram

When I had to chase the wolves from their pray

to keep the flock calm, and from going astray

When I was taught how to stand my ground

to defend my master, when troubles abound

There was no limit to what I could do

My courage and loyality saw my through

Now, I am told I was bred for “show”

DO I deserve to be dropped this low?

 

In the canine world I am the King

I do not care for the dog show ring

It bores me til the day I die

Why can I no longer do my part

And serve mankind with all my heart?

My heritage demands of me to be what I was born to be

Return my birthright that once was mine

A CHANCE TO LAY MY LIFE ON THE LINE!
