Heartbreaking: K9 officer Figo placed a paw on the casket of his fallen partner Jason Ellis Thursday. Ellis, a Bardstown, Kentucky police officer was killed in the line of duty after, police say, he was ambushed on a highway ramp
Anyone who sees these photos and doesn’t get a bit teary-eyed, has an ice chunk for a heart..........
Dang blurry screen...
Brave, loyal Doggie Ping.
I was tearing up before I even opened the pictures...
***’I’ve laid on the bathroom floor. I did not want to live another second without him. I don’t have the strength to pray right now, but I know that many others are praying for me and our family.***
Yes we are, Mrs. Ellis.
May the Holy Ghost comfort you and your boys with the knowledge and understanding that, through Jesus Christ, you will reunite with Jason in the presence of Almighty God Himself. And your agony will turn to overwhelming joy.
Hundreds of police officers from Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, emergency workers and others attended services for Ellis, a K-9 officer who was on the drug task force.
Grrrr.
Several things come to mind:
1) Figo obviously knows who is in that casket.
2) Kentucky did the right thing retiring the dog and giving him to the family.
3) Why does this only show up in UK media? It seems more and more posts on FR, especially on the scandal trifecta, cite a UK source.
Prayers for the family.
The expression of grief on the dog’s little face is heart-wrenching. He’d crawl in there and go with his master if they’d just let him.
What a beautiful and special dog, in every way.
The dog was retired from service and given to the widow of the slain officer. May they bring God’s healing and comfort to each other.
Strange case, I hope they get the guy who did it. I also hope he wasn’t targeted because he was dirty.
A reminder of the special bond between people and dogs.
