So, so, sad. Another truck driver not paying attention. My heart breaks for his handler, family and friends. My first husband was killed in the line of duty when he was hit by a truck driver in 2001.

K9 Hooch thank you for your Service to the DOC and to the State of Alabama. You passed doing what you love to do. I am sure that you would have found your suspect if it wasnt for some IGNORANT truck driver not paying attention at the wheel. I hope they catch him and charge him to the fullest. May your Partner and all others involved be granted with a speedy healing.

A Prayer for K9 Hooch:

Heavenly Father, the Alabama Department of Corrections was fortunate to receive the gift of K9 Hooch from You. Let us celebrate his accomplishments and remember his years of service as a Certified Law Enforcement Canine. K9 Hooch died in the Line-of-Duty on Thursday, October 10, 2019 when he was struck by a Hit & Run Tractor-Trailer Unit while tracking an escapee from the St. Clair County Jail. Now that K9 Hooch has left this life, please help the members of the Alabama Department of Corrections; his handler, and; his family cope with his loss with strength and courage. May K9 Hooch always be remembered as a trusted colleague who completed his missions with true dedication. Lord God, by Your Word, death is not the end; it does not have the final say! For Scripture promises that ALL flesh shall see the salvation of God! All dogs do go to heaven, because they have a spirit that epitomizes Your unconditional love. After all, DOG spelt backwards is GOD! Well done, good and faithful servant! Now, crossover the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ and be received by your Creator. Amen.
