I watched the video of Bandit. He was a best boys and his actions kept his other officers safe. To his handler I can not imagine how you feel at the loss of your partner/family but he showed bravery unmatched by so many with two legs. May he rest in peace and find many new friends with all the other 4 legged followers in this next life.

May Officer Bandit rest in peace, and chase all the squirrels, and eat all the steaks, he could ever want on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Sutter County, California Sheriff’s Office and the family, friends, and colleagues of K-9 Bandit, who was shot and killed in the Line-of-Duty on Thursday, November 15, 2018. Let us celebrate his accomplishments and remember his selfless sacrifice in the Line-of-Duty. Now that K9 Bandit has left this life, please help the members of the Sutter County Sheriff’s Office cope with his loss with strength and courage. May K9 Bandit always be remembered as a trusted colleague who completed his missions with true dedication and the unconditional love he provided his caregivers. Heavenly Father, by Your Word, death is not the end; it does not have the final say! For Scripture promises that all flesh shall see the salvation of God! All dogs do go to heaven, because they have a spirit that epitomizes God’s unconditional love. After all, DOG spelt backwards is GOD! Well done, good and faithful servant!

A HEAVENLY HOME…

Are these magnificent creatures now with the Lord Himself in the Heavenly Realm? Pastor and Author Randy Alcorn at EPM.org certainly feels this is factual, and even devoted 2 chapters of his best selling “Heaven” book to establish his case. Many of his inspiring articles are at: https://www.epm.org/search/?q=Animals+in+Heaven. We can also get a glimpse of the Glorious Reunions awaiting their devoted Handlers, Trainers and Owners at ImagineHeaven.net May the Good Lord comfort these intelligent and brave animals and their human family and caring departments accordingly…

"To Protect And Serve" is just what you did. If an officer had made that approach he could well have been shot and even killed. Your love for your handler and for your job cost you your life, but you died in the line of duty doing what you had been trained to do; disable a murderer before he could kill again.
