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.
