This poem was written for K9 Fargo of the Richland County Sheriff's Department in Honor of the unquestionable sacrifices K9's make in their everyday service to their partners and Agencies! Let this poem stand as a tribute to all our K9 Heroes who give the ultimate sacrifice!


“Our K9 Named Fargo"

He was just another Police dog,
I was going to have to train,
He was a beautiful “Belgian Malinois”,
And Fargo was his name.

We worked so hard together,
From sun up until Night,
His future as a Police Dog,
Became our daily plight.

This dog could do anything,
He was so easy to train,
Each day he made me so proud,
My partner “Fargo” was his name.

After months of rigorous training,
Fargo was ready for the road,
It didn’t take long to prove himself,
He was one of the best-I was told!

He hit on the drugs every time,
And tracked down the criminals too,
He did everything I ask of him,
There was nothing he wouldn’t do.

We stayed together day and night,
This dog I had to train,
He was my partner and my friend,
“Fargo” was his name!

It was the 16th of December,
With the moon and stars so bright,
When “Fargo” hit the trail of a robber,
My heart stopped when shots rang in the night!

My Partner was hit several times,
This K9 I had to train,
We cried because he didn’t make it,
My partner “Fargo” was his name!

Dearest Ciro, My husband is a firefighter/paramedic and my Mom's birthday is March 3rd. No amount of anger or deep hurt in MY heart (not even knowing you) or anyone's heart can bring you back. Every time I see the brightest star in the heavens, it will be a moment to dedicate to you. This pain will haunt many souls. Hard to trust God when He allows such seemingly aimless suffering to occur. But, He is still in control. May HE give your partner, Department and family comfort and peace.
Maybe this is be the turning point where no K-9 will be left behind to wait, but will always accompany his/her partner, unless utterly impossible. Hopefully, healing will begin.

I am sad to learn of the passing of a hero in K9 Ciro. I believe our Heavenly Father has welcomed him home into his loving arms where he will now patrol the Golden Streets of Heaven. May the Lord deliver Blessings, Comfort and Peace to his Handler, Family and all Members of The Humphreys County Sheriff's Office, Tennessee.

FOR K9 CIRCO'S HANDLER :

I LOVED YOU BEST
So this is where we part, My Friend.
and you’ll run on, around the bend,
gone from sight , but not from mind,
new pleasures there you’ll surely find.

I will go on, I’ll find the strength,
life measures quality, not its length.

One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.

There are others, that much is true,
but they are they, and they aren’t you.

And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought.
will remember well all you’ve taught.

Your place I’ll hold, you will be missed,
the fur I stroked, the nose i kissed.

And as you journey to your final rest,
take with you this… I Loved You Best.

Ciro was an amazing K9 just like his handler Deputy Gary. The entire department was devastated when we received the news of this tragic accident.
Deputy Gary did everything in his power to get his partner out of the vehicle but unfortunately there was nothing he could do. I can not imagine what that felt like but I hope he knows that everyone in the department is praying for him and is just one phone call away.

I don’t have words at the moment. I’ve followed that dog and his handler many times searching for armed suspects on tracks and clearing buildings. Always felt safe and confident knowing Ciro was there for all of us. Arriving on the scene this morning quickly became one of my worst days in this profession. Shawn I’m so sorry for your loss brother. We loved Ciro and we love you too. Lean on us where here to support you just like Ciro has us so many times in the past. God bless you both.
