What a wonderful commitment by these beautiful animals to protect and serve the people. They have no idea of what the consequences may be, but they do as they are directed. God Bless this beautiful animal and the love he obviously had for his handler to so lovingly obey. I have a German Shepard and they are absolutely the best, hands down.

Our condolences to his handler for the loss of his partner and friend. Our heart aches for you today.

This made me so sad to read. More guards were needed at Heaven's gates, so K9 Cain was called home. God bless.

To Lt. Bart Riden and all at the Crossville Police Department: I am so very sorry that you lost K9 Cain in such a horrible way. I've watched the news videos of how this loss has affected the community. It touched my heart to see the children bringing yellow roses for K9 Cain. Undoubtedly, he made quite an impression; HIS LIFE MATTERED! Thank You for your service and sacrifice K9 Cain. God has welcomed home a handsome, four-legged, HERO. I pray that justice will be served. God Bless you all!
