You always stood at the gate and greeted us as we was coming off midshift to boost morale. Warden Whitfield told you didn't have to go hunt that sadistic killer. But you insisted anyway having lots of experience in k9 giving the ultimate sacrifice. I remember talking with you the night before you died. RIP
