Stand Proud and Bark

A heart-felt yet funny elevating story of the bonds of family, selfless love, devoted service, and passion-a mesmerizing look at life... as only a dog could express. From the depth of my perspective I convey two germane facts; I'm as smart as a human, and I'm ready to die if it means I can save a life.

Only a few are selected to wear the vest of a police K-9. They must display courage and trainability beyond all other candidates. I, Sirius, a German shepherd, will tell you what I see, hear, smell, and feel as you and I venture on my watch.

Walk with me as I convey to you an adventuresome, passionate, three dimensional tale comprised of my puppyhood escapades, my many life's challenges, and tests too difficult for even a human to endure.
