Since your death FANG, not a week has gone by that I have not thought of you and your Officer Partner Matt Herrera. Gov.Ron DeSantis just signed legislation to make injury or death to a police K9, horse or Fire & Search and Rescue Dogs a second Degree Felony in Florida. Thank you for your service sweet angel four paws
