Kris-
I want to thank you for the time I had working with you in the Lake Crescent area at Olympic National Park. When I heard the news I could not believe what happened and still have trouble dealing with this tradegy. Since the first time I worked with you and Radar, you inspired me to work towards becoming a K-9 unit in my future law enforcement career. I want to thank you for all the back up that you and Radar provided for me.
I will continue to pray for you and your family. You will be greatly missed by me and all other officers that worked with you.

To the family and peers of Officer Fairbanks.. I am so sorry for your loss but have hope in our Lord for he is watching and will judge the ramant evil in his time..

As a former K9 officer I of course was wondering how the dog managed through this trauma as well....

John 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going." 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" 6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well.
