Police dog pays last respects to his master.


Recommended Posts

Saw this heartbreaking picture on the news today and I thought I should share it. As a possible future K9 officer myself, this picture struck me in particular. I am a dog owner as well so I know the bond a handler shares with his dog. Let nobody say that dogs can't feel the emotions of their masters. Figo has been retired from the police force and will reside with the family of the fallen officer for the rest of his life. 

 

"A heartbreaking photo from the funeral of Kentucky K9 officer Jason Ellis is proof of the incredible bond between police dogs and their partners.

The 33-year-old officer was killed in a suspected ambush on Saturday and laid to rest soon after, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader. Ellis' canine partner, Figo, who worked with him to find drugs and illegal substances, kept a vigil beside his casket.

Many K-9 officers attended the funeral, and their dogs could be heard barking from their cruisers before the funeral."
