The loss of any officer is tragic. Thank you K9 Officer Gorky, for your service. You are now a Guardian Angel, watching your fellow officers from above. My condolences go out to the force. I know it's easier said than done, but don't cry because he's gone, smile because he lived.

Gorky's actions may have allowed an Officer to go home to his family safely that day. God bless him and all Police dogs who serve the public and save Officers lives. Condolences to all who will miss him.

that is so sad. Thank You K9 Gorky for your well served service!!! Prayers for Gorky's handler, both for his/her injuries and for the loss of a friend and comrade. I hope the suspect serves a very long jailed sentence because he took the life of this K9 officer.

So sad, another wasted life due to a crazy man with a gun. I hope there is a stiff penalty for killing a law enforcement officer, which Gorky was. R.I.P, dear dog.
