If anyone kills a k-9 police dog they should get the same punishment as if they killed an officer

I am sad to learn of the passing of a hero in K9 Bumi. 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 Richland County Sheriff's Department, South Carolina.

Heavenly Father, Lord our God, You are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our K9 Partner, Bumi, of the Richland County SC Sheriff's Department, was suddenly and violently taken from us; Shot & Killed in the Line-of-Duty. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, law enforcement colleagues, and friends by the power and protection of the cross. I ask this through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior, and by His authority. I pray. Amen.

God's Word of Comfort:

"Blessed are those who mourn. They will be comforted." [Matthew 5:4 GW]
