I am sad to learn of the passing of a hero in K9 Rudy. I believe our Heavenly Father has welcomed him home into his loving arms where he will now patrol the Golden Streets of Heaven. May the Lord deliver Blessings, Comfort and Peace to his Handler, Family and all Members of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, California.

K9 Rudy, Once again, one of God's special agents has been taken out by evil. When will your death, and that of your K9 peers, be seen for what it is - murder. The bullet you took was meant for your team members. Your unfailing willingness to go where your partner sent you, and the courage you displayed in never hesitating, attests to your complete faithfulness. You COULD sense the danger, you COULD smell the evil, but still never hesitated or second guessed your partner's commands. Enjoy your reward now, in Heaven with your greatest fan, your Creator. Let your partner's heart know that you are at peace and rest, and that he should be so too.

Lord God of unfailing love, to those families of our beloved nation, the United States of America, who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a Law Enforcement K-9 family member in the Line-of-Duty, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. Amen.
