    Default Wanted to share with all the animal lovers, sad

    Hi,
    last night one of my best friends who is a K-9, was killed in what i call a freak accident.
    This dog was (to me ) one of the best officers Melbourne Florida had. He had been through alot, currently in the paper for being stabbed in the face, healed well! back to work. He was a friendly, but working dog. Great grip, and highly devoted to his job! He was not one of my pups. still all the K-9's go through every work night is mind blowing. And Marco, had to get killed this way.
    The story with basics came out quick this morning. Here is the story.
    click on local to the far left of the screen if you are interested.
    I just wanted to share, know there are alot of animal people out there.

    That and all too many other story's like are a damn shame and far too common place. We as human's created the environment we exist in. Some animal's can and do co-exist with us and once dependent upon us prefer it. The Shame in this is that far too few "pet's" die naturally, rather you can trace there demise to the irresponcability or neglect of a human.

    Wow now I'm really depressed

    That is a sad ending for a career K9. I worked K9 for 5 years and had one of my dogs stabbed to death by a drunk. These dogs do become "one of the guys".

    Believe me I can feel the pain of every officer in that department.

    Oh, Pamela. I'm so sorry....
    The kennel attendant who let that happen must be as horrified as you are. That's terrible!
    I wonder what caused him to run? Most K9 dogs are trained so well, I've never seen one disobey. They must have left him alone outside!

    My prayers go out to you, Officer Lindsley, and the Melbourne police dept.
    Is there going to be a memorial service? If any donations or help is needed, please let me know.

    Marco was an officer you know littleOne,
    i have to donate, knowing the animal for what he was. I wrote to the newspaper today, not asking for donations, but maybe someone reading my message will remember him as well.
    These animals have the best of care, but have to be put on the front lines for our uniformed officers. He was stabbed in a raid not long ago, on his face, the other k-9 was stabbed in the chest area, both lived and did not stop untill they had their backup! Alot of K-9's wear vests and such, our dogs down here have a hard time operating in them, it's too hot. So they don't wear them. He was one that looked like a big bear! But in the cruiser knew his work mode. Out in the field, would play!

    Yes there is going to be a memorial service just as if this were a man/woman officer. They truly treat them well. And put them to rest well.
    I can only figure since he lived with Scott, he did not want to be left there. I have shepherds, they can scale a fence. I don't know if that is what happened though. Not all the details are in i guess. Hey he was heading in the right direction....Going home. But did not make it. If you want to donate anything, i will put the address up here. If Pryce would like this taken down i understand, but since you asked, i want to send it.

    650 North Apollo Blvd. Melbourne Florida, 32935
    Put memeo...donation for Police Dog.
    Acct # 420000-06600 Attention: Lt. Bice
    Or call 321-259-1211 for info.
    Check for City of Melbourne police dept.

    Thats all i know right now. In the future many may not want to read this, i will pm you.
    Lotsa luv! Pamela. Thanks for the link!
