K/9 Beny thanks for the loyal service to your community and to the citizens of Montville, Ohio. I know that the handler has probably gone over what happened and wished for a better out come. But sometimes bad things happen to good people who mean no harm. I hope & pray that something is learned from this accident. Rest in Peace, K/9 Beny.

IN MEMORY OF K9 BENY

To the family, friends, and colleagues of K9 Beny:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In 2014, some seventeen law enforcement canines have already sacrificed their lives to protect their handlers and the citizens of this great nation. Today, we honor the sacrifice of K9 Beny, of the Montville, Ohio, Police Department, who died in the line-of-duty of heat exhaustion on Sunday, September 28, 2014, after accidently being left in his handler’s patrol car at the Montville OH Police Department while his handler completed four hours of paperwork. The temperature had risen to 79 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of K9 Beny. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of K9 Beny and honor his sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen hero. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the family of this hero. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the death of this hero, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. Dogs do go to heaven! They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of Montville, Ohio, help them to faithfully equip their law enforcement officers and canines with the best tools to protect their community. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of Montville, Ohio, to remember to fund their law enforcement canine programs adequately and treat their canine heroes with respect. Help the citizens of Montville, Ohio, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their community.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the life lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of K9 Beny go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself! K9 Beny’s death was an unfortunate accident from which we must all learn. These canines serve us with unconditional love and are a significant investment to our law enforcement agencies. We must not forget our responsibilities for their care and welfare.

Finally, Lord God, we pray for the families, friends, and colleagues of all the law enforcement officers and canines who have been killed in the line-of-duty and we thank you for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and colleagues so they might find healing. Help their law enforcement organizations support the families of these fallen heroes. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that their law enforcement organizations and the communities in which they lived and served might be stronger because of their lives and their deaths. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Now, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen.

In His Service,
