We wrote a little poem for a special K-9, officer Blek of Ligonier, Pennsylvania. This officer's partner was killed in the line of duty last year by a drunk driver headed in the wrong direction. Ligonier is a great town, and full of festivities and parades. It was during one such parade that I penned a poem to honor Blek and his fallen companion as he walked as Grand Marshall at the head of the parade.
With all the throngs and festive fanfare, I hold my head high in the air, I feel somehow that I have grown, I walk today but I don't walk alone. People will cheer and people will wave, I'll march proudly, I'll try to be brave. I know in my heart with a special glow, I walk today but I don't walk alone. And when it's over and all is done, I'll go back to my home and remember the fun. I know he's here with all of us though, I walked today, but did not walk alone.

Beautiful poem Piggy- as always. What a sad story of a fallen hero. Officer Blek is a handsome woofie, it must have been a bittersweet sight to see him in the parade.

Thank you so much from Ms. Piggy! She loves all of God's creatures, even doggies. Officer Blek is a very heroic K-9. Thank you for the comment!
