That Friendship Fortified By Their Bond
The dusty face of the happy firefighter
is gladly licked by a dog with a thankful attitude;
she doesn't mind the strong stench of fire
on his wet uniform and reacts as humans do.
If this dog could talk, we would imagine the emotion that will ensue...
what she will say to him a big, loud "Thank You!"
Grateful for her life, but much more for her pups...
although she lay on the top of them to spare them burns.
Dogs are for sure man's best friends...I wonder who said that and when!
Here's the proof that they still rely on that friendship fortified by their bond!
So dog and man helping each other, delighting one another to the end...
when brothers and fellowmen can't get along, but spill useless blood!
Who couldn't be moved by this heart-warming scene when the fire started?
Perhaps even a human wouldn't be as grateful as this dog really is!
Animals fear us when our intent is not humane, so they turn against us...,
but we as intelligent beings, refuse to soften our hearts that often remain cold.
Treasure the image of the firefighter and the dog: it's a trust that grows;
post it everywhere where folks can see it...this amazing story must be told!
And whenever we see dogs, or other animals in danger, let's rescue them!
It's our duty to do our part, and in return, they'll forever be grateful to us!
