Thank you for all you have done to protect and serve your community and your human partner. It is truly obvious that you was a hero to your human partner. I see the thin blue line flag on your car door with your name. I think you were also a good sport and very patient by wearing whatever that stocking was on your head.
I know that you will be truly missed, but never ever forgotten.
Rest in Peace Atlas.
Human partner,
Thank you for your service and sacrifices, and I am deeply sadden about your tremendous lose.
Stay safe my brother.
