Rest in peace our 4 legged brother. God bless the handler in this time of loss because having been a handler myself, I cannot imagine the pain and guilt he/she is feeling right now. Keep your chin up brother and it will get better and you still have all the memories and accomplishments to be proud of and remember Tank.

I knew K-9 Tank very well and was honored to defend his work product on multiple occasions during drug-related Suppression Hearings, etc. There is no way to know the positive impact he had in our society. He sniffed out many-many pounds of illegal narcotics destined to be sold to our youth. He located many-many thousands of dollars of drug-tainted currency, preventing the criminal element from using the funds to further their commerce. He is a true example of "Man's Best Friend."
