IN MEMORY OF K9 ROBBIE

To the family, friends, and colleagues of K9 Robbie:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In 2014, some twenty law enforcement canines have sacrificed their lives to protect their handlers and the citizens of this great nation. Today, we honor the sacrifice of K9 Robbie, of the Wyoming Highway Patrol, who was struck and killed in the line-of-duty on Monday, October 20, 2014, by a tractor trailer unit while performing a vehicle search near mile marker 266 on I-80 in the area of the Elk Mountain in Wyoming.
“Lord God, we are grateful for the life of K9 Robbie. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of K9 Robbie and honor his sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen hero. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the family of this hero. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the death of this hero, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. Dogs do go to heaven! They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of the State of Wyoming, help them to faithfully equip their law enforcement officers and canines with the best tools to protect their state. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of the State of Wyoming, to remember to fund their law enforcement canine programs adequately and treat their canine heroes with respect. Help the citizens of the State of Wyoming, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their state.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the life lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of K9 Robbie go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself! K9 Robbie was a significant investment and asset to the Wyoming Highway Patrol and will be dearly missed.

Finally, Lord God, we pray for the families, friends, and colleagues of all the law enforcement officers and canines who have been killed in the line-of-duty and we thank you for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and colleagues so they might find healing. Help their law enforcement organizations support the families of these fallen heroes. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that their law enforcement organizations and the communities in which they lived and served might be stronger because of their lives and their deaths. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
Now, K9 Robbie, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In His Service,

People say I'm "Just a Dog" then why would it be,
if you spell my name backwards god is what you see
I have many jobs, one is protecting your life
or making sure your family's safe
when that prowler is out at night.
My Partner calls me Family
My Prayers to K-9 Robbie, and his Partner and To the Department. K-9 Robbie, May you guard the doors of haven and watch over your Partner from above. Thank you for your service. For it is not just those with 2 legs who are born with a soul that has courage to wear a badge
