Poem
Man and dog, reputed best friends, rise above death’s fears. With lives on the line, heroes save, minds and hearts in action. Stories mount across counties where rescuers save many tears. Not for any gain or fame, but for responsible satisfaction. A perky little poodle, pretty, adorned in green and gray, Trapped inside a smoke filled house could not get away. Firemen forced their way inside in time to save the day. She squirmed in the arms of safety, well enough to play. (http://www.suffolknewsherald.com/2011/01/28/firefighters-rescue-dog/) A black and white dog fell through the ice; he was not skating. The thinly frozen water, his trap, oh, day in Rhode Island. Rescuers came to save that dog; there was no hesitating. They quickly warmed the shaking beast and gave a life-saving hand. (http://cranston.patch.com/articles/dog-rescued-by-fire-department) A German shepherd gone astray in the Los Angeles River Stood on a shallow watery ledge, amid rushing waters. His savior dangled above the scene, without any shivers. A struggle for life, one bite to the thumb…success never falters. (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/01/los-angeles-firefighter-recounts-daring-dog- rescue.html) A candle flame, dog owner out, disaster begins to rage. Five dogs in Colorado Springs saved while the fire burned. One Chihuahua crossed the Vail to the great doggie sage. But with love and a fireman’s CPR, her life was soon returned. (http://www.examiner.com/dog-rescue-in-national/firefighters-rescue-five-dogs-save-chihuahua- with-cpr) Across the species border, thrives a caring respect for life. Both man and canine have been willing to sacrifice breath itself. Facing danger, against raging flames, bravery beyond strife, A "dobbie" protects her puppies loving her babies more than herself. The rescuer knew she passed through her fears and did so aptly. He had risked his life for her and her pups, awareness shone well. Both man and dog covered in ash with faces gray and sooty, No bite, but kisses of thankfulness, she gave, so the world could tell. © January 29, 2011
