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 K9 Partner and 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.

K9 Roxi, We read the charges against the perpetrator but where is the charge for taking the life of a highly trainer officer? As part of a team, your and your partner acted as one. Thankfully your partner survived such a terrible ordeal. There is not punishment enough for someone willfully and purposely taking your life. May God pour down love and comfort on your partner, family and department. Let your partner's heart and soul know that you are at peace, enjoying the company of fellow K9 heroes who were called home before you.
