Thank you for your service and your Ultimate Sacrifice in the line of Duty doing what you love to do.

A HEAVENLY HOME…

Are these magnificent creatures now with the Lord Himself in the Heavenly Realm? Pastor and Author Randy Alcorn at EPM.org certainly feels this is factual, and even devoted 2 chapters of his best selling “Heaven” book to establish his case. Many of his inspiring articles are at: https://www.epm.org/search/?q=Animals+in+Heaven. We can also get a glimpse of the Glorious Reunions awaiting their devoted Handlers, Trainers and Owners at ImagineHeaven.net May the Good Lord comfort these intelligent and brave animals and their human family and caring departments accordingly…

Sad story for sure. Being a former K-9 handler myself, I know how attached we get to our partners and that was without a doubt a difficult decision for his handler. Prayers for the handler and his family and co-workers during this time of tragic loss.

I hope the handler is doing okay. Such a sad loss for the agency. I know there is usually a tight bond between the officer and the service dog. I can't imagine the anguish the officer felt for having to shoot his own partner.
