Who only wishes for you to succeed? 
Who only wants to fulfill your every need?
Who will be there through thick or thin?
Your mother? Think again.
It’s those guide dogs and service dogs, People.
When you’re down they lift you up
When you’re lost they know the way
(or aren’t too macho to ask for help!)
They’re your eyes, your ears, your nose
Harness off. . . Anything goes.
It’s those guide dogs and service dogs, People.
