Furry Angel
by Christopher Dion

She is my guardian angel
Clad in 2 tone fur
Ever there beside me
In the darkness as in the light
Her nose ever seeks out
That which would destroy
She walks head long into danger
All to see me safely home
No gold or glory does she seek
Merely my love and a little praise
No truer angel has man ever known
Than this dog that walks beside me
In this far off foreign land

I've just finished the book "Always Faithful", an account of the first WWII Marine war dog company which was wonderful. (Got it on Amazon.)

Really heartwarming.
