View all 21 ReflectionsMy name is Shelly O, I am a native of Colorado. I am always saddened to read about another fallen officer anywhere, and I mourn w/ you about K9 Draco. May he rest his peace and his handler remember him in heart and in spirit, when he/she eventually decides on another K9 partner.
