[Nfbf-l] My uniform. I know you only see a dog when you see me in the street,

I love this! I'm going to share this definitely inspiring poem with people
who don't uunderstand the job of a guide dog. Thanks so much Alan!

My uniform.

I know you only see a dog when you see me in the street, But look a little
closer before we get to  meet.

You'll see I'm in my uniform, this harness that I wear, Should tell you that
I'm working, I have a human in my care.

The flash that shines upon my lead shouts out the job I do, I'm guiding in
my uniform, I'm steady  and I'm true.

Now would you grab a policeman,
a doctor, nurse or nun, A fireman or a surgeon, so you could have  some fun?

Would you want to hug them,
distract them from their task I'm not so very different, so THINK, is  all I
ask.

I'm doing such a special job, I'm being someone's eye's.
Distracting me to make a fuss, really isn't wise.

Would you rush to hug a police dog,
or a sniffer dog for drugs, Or a guard dog barking madly, just  to get some
hugs?

I doubt they'd greet you kindly, their owners too may shout.
So please I ask you nicely, walk on  and miss me out.

I'm working in my uniform, it's very clear to see.
So this I ask you kindly, don't attempt to distract me.
