We were deeply saddened to hear about the loss of K9 Georgia, your loyal and brave canine. I can only imagine how difficult this time must be for you, K9 Georgia’s handler, and your fellow officers in the Dade County Sheriff's Office.

It is evident that Police K9 Georgia was not just a highly trained member of your team but also a beloved companion and a true asset to the community. The dedication and commitment of both the K-9 and their handler are evident in the invaluable services they provide, from tracking down suspects to detecting dangerous substances.
The bond between a Police K-9 and their handler is unparalleled, built on trust, loyalty, and mutual respect. Losing a K-9 partner is like losing a member of the family, and I can only imagine the sense of loss and grief the handler must be experiencing. Please know that K9 Georgia’s handler, and your fellow officers are in our thoughts during this challenging time.
Police K9 Georgia has left a lasting impact on the community through exceptional service and unwavering dedication. Bravery in the face of danger and commitment to ensuring public safety are commendable and greatly appreciated.

Beautiful, beautiful K9 Georgia, many hearts are broken that you should have been taken inside if more than several minutes would have left you alone. Your precious soul was taken well before your career was allowed to blossom. Maybe your sacrifice will be used as the standard set that will never allow any of your K9 fellows to be lost this way again. Rest in Heaven with your fellow K9 heroes. May the Lord comfort your partner, family & department.

I am sad to learn of the passing of a hero in K9 Georgia. 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 Dade County Sheriff's Office, Georgia.

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 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, please hear my prayer. Amen.
Please find Comfort, Support, and Hope in the Law Enforcement Officer's Christian Standard Bible:
