I have often envied my brothers behind the badge that had K-9 partners. I was never lucky enough to serve as a K-9 officer/handler, but used them on dozen's of occasions-always with the best results. No one is ever as loyal as a dog. I am glad the Deputies are safe-that's a K-9's job, to take a bullet meant for one of us....but it doesn't make it any easier for his handler. Well done partner, a job well done, rest easy now. We got this from here...

I am always worried for the K9 when he is being called to duty whether it is in Law Enforcement or in the Armed Services. My heart bleeds for those who lose their lifes and for the Handlers.

Fearless, selfless and dedicated to accomplishing a mission. I am sure Koda possessed all of those characteristics and many more. Koda confronted evil and did not back down, neither did the deputies. God bless all of you. Thank you for your service.
