Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

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, Shot and Killed 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.

Thank you for your service Chase and what was done to you was the most cowardly act I have ever heard of... I send my deepest sympathies to the handler. I'm sure you were an outstanding partner. I hope to someday be a k9 handler.

Rest in peace Chase. What an act of cowardice. As a Police Officer and dog lover, I cannot express enough sympathy to his handler and his department. Ive known a few K9's to lose their partner and it is devistating.

Our thoughts are with the handler and the department at this loss. There's something special about the K9 partner, loyal and dedicated to the end. What a senseless act to end his life and career. Rest in Peace Chase.
