Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I did a google search of Jinx, as I am having a hard day with missing him. It has been 7 months since we lost our sweet boy and the pain is ever so raw, like it was yesterday. Coming across this site and reading all the kind reflections, brought me a bit of comfort, even though I cried reading them all. I'm not sure if any of you will see this, but I want to say THANK YOU for taking the time to leave kind words and prayers for our family. We miss our Jinx so much and we are doing all we can to keep his memory alive. He was the bestest boy and a true hero!!!

Jinx's mom,

RIP K9 JINX

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!

This incident brings tears to my eyes! This is so sad and so wrong! This brave dog deserves a hero's funeral just like any other law enforcement officer. When the losers of our society start killing dogs, there is no hope left. The loser who shot this dog will rot in hell. I'm choking up just writing this. God bless the handler who lost his partner. May this dog rest in peace knowing he did his duty honorably and bravely.

K-9 Jinx, One look into those beautiful, dazzling eyes and the story is told. You were totally dedicated to the job at hand and completely loyal to your partner. Such determination, intelligence and eagerness defy understanding. You were "the full package" - everything needed to be the perfect K-9.
May you enjoy your reward in Heaven with your fellow troopers. May God comfort your partner, family & department knowing that you are fine and you will some day be united again!

Lord God of unfailing love, to those families of our beloved nation who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a Law Enforcement K-9 family member, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. Amen.
