Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Palm Beach County, Florida Sheriff’s Office and the family, friends, and colleagues of K-9 Cigo, who was shot and killed in the Line-of-Duty on Monday, December 24, 2018. Let us celebrate his accomplishments and remember his selfless sacrifice in the Line-of-Duty. Now that K9 Cigo has left this life, please help the members of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office cope with his loss with strength and courage. May K9 Cigo 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!

What a BEAUTY you are! What a HERO!! How heartbreaking that you had to give your life because of a coward gangbanger that does not deserve to breathe the same air as you. Thank you for saving your partner and fellow Officers. I was lucky enough to have my own canine back in the 80's. What a joy it was! I know how your partner must be grieving for you and I hope great memories will help him through.

To Cigo's partner: I am so sorry for your loss. In his picture it appears he was proud and brave. You must have had a special relationship. I know a dog's love is real and that he must have truly loved and respected you.

My heart weeps for Officer K9 Cigo, taken from his partner and law enforcement family of Palm Beach Sheriffs Office while protecting them from evil people, but even after being shot, he instinctively kept doing his job to take down the bad guys, it’s unconditional love along with his duty. I watched the video online of Cigo’s partner going down a line of fellow police officers being consoled and it made me cry, and my heart goes out to Cigo’s partner, I hope you feel comfort
In that people care about you and hurt for you and your brave, loyal and mighty Cigo. Rest easy Cigo, the other K9s are taking it from here and will meet you at
The Rainbow Bridge at a later date.

I loved K9 Cigo and also I love his handler D/S Soriano and all of Palm Beach County Sheriffs office K9. They are my friends and they are brave heroes. Cigo got shot because a bad guy in a gang was shooting at the police and Cigo ran after him and got shot in the lungs and still got the bad guy down and he saved Ryans life and the other police to. He is a hero and loyal even with a bullet in him. Now there is one less good guy to protect us. Rest in peace Cigo I will miss you so much. Love, your friend Jack #jackhasyourback
