View all 36 ReflectionsI only recently began to realize and understand what our K9 officers can do and how they love to work, play and protect us. Needless to say I have used two boxes of tissues reading about these wonderful creatures.
So, so sad to hear of K9 Hudson's passing and can't imagine how his handler and family are coping. K9 Hudson paid the ultimate price, and gladly, to keep the community and handler safe. Safe travels to Heaven. You'll unite with your dad one day.
