Rocco was a true hero he served with no questions, asked for no accolades or acknowledgments. His final tour of duty was served bravely. Rest in peace dear boy. Many are thinking of you.

K-9 Rocco, your faithful service will be engraved in our hearts forever. I know you will wait for your handler and friend at the Rainbow Bridge. You can rest now, the rest of us will take it from here. Thank you, for giving your life for your friends. The Bible says there is no greater love than a man laying down his life for his friends. I know the Lord Jesus Christ considers you in that great love.
