Police K9s are not just loyal companions; they are fearless heroes who selflessly serve and protect alongside law enforcement officers. These courageous canines form an unbreakable bond with their handlers, and when they pass away, it leaves a significant void in the hearts of the officers who worked closely with them. To honor the memory of these brave K9 partners and pay tribute to their service, we have curated a custom canvas print inspired by the heartfelt poem "The Last Battle."
"The Last Battle" is a touching poem that beautifully captures the emotions of saying goodbye to a beloved companion. It portrays the struggle of witnessing a cherished K9 partner growing frail and weak with age or illness. The poem gently urges the handler to make the difficult decision to let their loyal friend go, ensuring they no longer suffer. The verses express the deep bond and love shared between the officer and their K9, making it a poignant tribute to the heroism and devotion these police dogs display during their service.
The Last Battle (Text)
If it should be that I grow frail and weak,And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this, the last battle, can't be won.
You will be sad, I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand.
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where my needs they'll tend.
Only stay with me until the end,
And hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree,
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you,
Who has to decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years.
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
