Reflections for K9 Harrie
The First & The Last
The first to sense the hostility of a suspect,
The first to react to protect his master,
The first to enter where danger lurks,
The first to detect the hidden intruder.
The first to take action against violence.
The first to sense his master’s joy.
The first to know his master’s sorrow or fear.
The first to give his life in defense of his master.
The last to be forgotten by those who work with others like him.
They know him as a “Partner”, not just an animal.

K9 Harrie, the eagerness in your eyes and handsome face shows why you are a hero! No doubt everything you did was with the greatest level of intensity to do your best. The loss felt here is a blessing felt in Heaven as you join your peers who also gave it their all. May God shower your partner, family and department with comfort and peace, knowing that you are comfortably resting and receiving all the rewards you more than deserve.

Lord God of unfailing love, to those families of our beloved nation, the United States of America, who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a Law Enforcement K-9 family member in the Line-of-Duty, 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.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4 ESV]

I was a member of a K-9 unit with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, and I can attest that these dogs are true hero’s, and really give it their all. K9 Harry you definitely are one of those true heroes. You will truly be missed by your handler, and the other in your department. Your duties are done, rest in peace.

I am sad to learn of the passing of a hero in K9 Harrie 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 Shreveport Police Department, Louisiana.
