Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am so sorry for you and the loss of your best buddy. Think of a song that you heard when you were with him. IN a quiet moment play that song and he will appear right in front of you. I have lost 3 of my buddies just like Harry over the years, and each of them has their own song.

Right now I have 2 German shepherds approaching 12 years of age, so I know some day I have to say goodbye Again. They will have their own song as well.

Mr. Jesper Witte, Civilian, Denmark.

IN MEMORY OF K9 HARRY

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

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. Thus far in 2015, six law enforcement canines have sacrificed their lives to protect their handlers and the citizens of this great nation. Today, we honor the sacrifice of K9 Harry, of the Audubon County, Iowa, Sheriff’s Office, who succumbed to injuries on Saturday, March 28, 2015, sustained in a cruiser accident on Friday, March 27, 2015, in the line-of-duty, when his handler lost control of his patrol vehicle along a curve on Lark Avenue while responding to an urgent call to assist deputies in neighboring Cass County, Iowa.

Lord God, we are grateful for the life of K9 Harry. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of K9 Harry 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 Audubon County, Iowa, help them to faithfully equip their law enforcement officers and canines with the best tools to protect their county. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of Audubon County, Iowa, to remember to fund their law enforcement canine programs adequately and treat their canine heroes with respect. Help the citizens of Audubon County, Iowa, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their county.

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 Harry go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

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. Amen.

Now, K9 Harry, 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.
Now, go and crossover the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ for there is much work to do in God’s Legions against Evil!
