[Verse]
Born on Day One in the straw-lined whelping box,
Smallest Rottweiler, tiniest of the lot.
One ice-blue eye, one warm earth-brown,
Millicent’s sunshine, Alexander’s frown.
Momma sang soft, “You are my only sunshine,”
Tiny Gunther dreamed big under the barn light.
[Chorus]
It’s the size of the fight in the dog, oh yeah!
Gunther proved it every single day!
From runt to hero, scars and all,
Heart bigger than mountains, he answered the call!
Gunther, Gunther, never back down,
Smallest pup with the loudest growl!
[Verse]
Week One, eyes cracked open, wonder in his gaze,
Tire ride with MJ rolling through the haze.
Week Four, yard chaos, puppies tumbling wild,
Week Six, Dad’s stories, Rottweiler pride.
Mock charges, lessons, but Gunther’s mind was set,
K-9 dreams burning, no time for regret!
[Verse]
Week Eight, Mischief Mob dug that secret hole,
Gunther listened close, heart ready to roll.
Week Sixteen, tunnel dark, he crawled out free,
Mountain bound, chasing destiny.
Met Magnus the wolf, bear fight at Teal Lake,
Week Sixteen Day Five, victory wide awake!
[Verse]
Week Seventeen Day One, home like a storm,
Saved Mom, Dad, family from the robbers’ scorn.
Max and Smalls at his side, Payge’s arms so tight,
Clint the partner, first Rottie K-9 shining bright!
Badge on his chest, scars on his hide,
Dreams came true on that wild ride!
[Verse]
Years rolled on with sirens and streetlight glow,
Patrols, protection, letting the good guys know.
To Year Fourteen, silver fur, wise old eyes,
Studio lights, telling recruits his life.
Mismatched eyes still sparkle, voice steady and strong,
“Size don’t matter when your heart sings its song!”
[Bridge]
From barn to mountains, wild to badge and vest,
Gunther showed us all we can be our best.
Family, wolves, humans, one unbreakable pack,
The fire inside you keeps you on track!
[Chorus]
It’s the size of the fight in the dog, oh yeah!
Gunther proved it every single day!
From Day One runt to Year Fourteen star,
Unbreakable spirit, shining from afar!
Gunther, Gunther, your howl echoes on,
Smallest hero, the fight lives on!AHHHOOOOOO… yeah, the fight lives on!
Gunther’s heart… forever strong!
