It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of my sweet boy, my best friend and my loyal partner. I will never be the same. I am so thankful for the privilege of having you in my life.

I wish I could tell you how much this boy means to me, how much he has done to insure that justice is served. Mattis just got his 38th conviction and more remarkable the 21st sentence which included prison time!

Not often does this happen. Tonight he was in his crate laying (door is always open) and he started whining. I said, “Bud, you know the door is open. What do you need?” He climbs up and lays his head down. Slept for about an hour. Love Little Moments Like That! #Dogs #K9Partner
