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.

While 12 years isn't much for killing a K9, ( should be like 20-30 years) at least it is something.

Thank you for sacrificing your life for others , my prayers are with your police dept and handler . People can learn so much from a dog not that you were an ordinary dog , far from that you are a heroe that will never be forgotten . Unfortunately as long as we still have evil in this world there will continue to be pain and suffering . I hope the guy that shot you gets the death penalty . He clearly shot a working k9 officer . When you woke up I doubt you thought your day would end like this but. 1 day you and officer Matt will be united at the rainbow bridge
