Being a K9 Officer for 21years it is very hard to put into words what a great partnership you build with your K9 friend. The work and dedication your dog puts into his job and protection of you the Officer and his Work Mates. May he rest in peace and chase the celestial bone in Heaven. He will be waiting for his Human Master when he/she walks through the Pearly Gates of Heaven. God be with all his Human Friends.
