Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am Det. N. Houlihan from Chesapeake, VA. I am a nine year charter member of Law Enforcement United. We are a charity organization of sworn officers both active and retired that support families of officers killed in the line of duty. I have ridden my bicycle for eight years from Chesapeake, VA to Washington DC during police week while raising thousands of dollars to be donated to both COPS and ODMP. This year I was honored to ride our RUFF Ride chapter from Cumberland, MD to DC in support of K9's killed in the line of duty, I rode for DINGO. I received a dog tag with Dingo's name and EOW etched on it. I carried this token of remembrance with me for three days while I rode approx. 209 miles. I would very appreciative if someone who knows Dingo's handler could pass my email to him so I would be able to send him this memento. Thank you! [email protected]

You brought me home
One sunny day
With you for years
I would surely stay.

I met your pack
Children and wife
I began to love
My new-found life.

I slept on your couch
At the foot of your bed
You looked at me lovingly
While petting my head.

We trained for months
And our bonding grew
We were both partners
Buddies in Blue.

We did school demo’s
And I never did wrong
Over all of the years
My love for you grew strong.

How I loved to work
To stand up and bark
In the back of our car
From light until dark.

We went call to call
Having fun all the way
Until the call came
On that one fateful day.

A man with a gun
The dispatcher did say
I jumped from my car
When it pointed your way.

Before leaving home I was told
“keep him safe” by your wife
I knew at that moment
For you I would give my life.

The bullet struck hard
Steady and true
The bullet struck me instead
Of striking you.

When you go home tonight
Tell your wife I did good
Strong, Tall and Proud
On the ground that I stood.

I’m dead and gone now
This much is true
But I’ve done my job well
Of protecting you.

May God's angels of mercy and peace carry you at this time -

There's lots of room in heaven
for the young and very old-
and those who are the heroes
who's stories should be told.

Each man and dog are given
a special job to do,
but cops need help from time to time
and someone to carry them too.

So God sends angels to the earth
for jobs that must be done
when man just can't accomplish
the task that has begun.

An officer, a soldier or maybe
just a friend,
dogs never fail where they've been sent
to care for those they tend.

God put His name on backwards
on life's spokes within the cog
Angels we've been blessed with -
Angels just spelled - dog.

K9 Dingo:

Thank you for your law enforcement service to the citizens of Greater Salt Lake, Utah and to the Unified Greater Salt Lake, Utah Police Department. Let us celebrate your accomplishments and remember your selfless sacrifice in the Line-of-Duty. However, death is not the end; it does not have the final say! Now, my furry Comrade-in-Blue, rest easy, we will take it from here! May the Lord God bless you, your family, your friends, and your colleagues always.

"Well done, good and faithful servant!" [Matthew 25:21 ESV]

Almighty God, the Unified Greater Salt Lake, Utah Police Department was fortunate to receive the gift of Dingo from You. Now that he has left this life, please help them cope with his loss with strength and courage. We know that this beloved canine hero no longer suffers, and will live on in the fond memories of his loyal and dedicated law enforcement service for which he was trained. We pray that his accomplishments and unconditional love have enriched the lives of others and that he will forever be remembered by all those who loved and cared for him. After all, DOG spelled backwards is GOD! Amen
