Farewell, Hero: Remembering K9 King, A Partner Like No Other

Tomorrow, I will say goodbye to more than just a dog—I will say goodbye to my son, my protector, my partner, my best friend.

K9 King wasn’t just an officer. He was my eyes when I couldn’t see, my ears when danger whispered in the dark, and my strength when I felt afraid. He walked into the unknown time and time again, placing my safety and the safety of others before his own without hesitation.

With unmatched loyalty, he served his community, sniffing out threats, tracking the lost, and calming chaos with his quiet courage. He bore the badge with more integrity than most men ever will.

He wasn’t “just a dog.” He was CP109 K9 King—a name that stood for honor, sacrifice, and unshakable love.

He faced danger with grace. He faced duty with pride. And now, he faces peace, surrounded by the legacy of the lives he’s touched.

My gratitude is endless. My heartbreak is immeasurable.

You were never just my partner—you were my family. And though my hands must now release your leash, my heart will carry you forever.

If there’s a heaven for heroes, I know you’re there, running free.

Rest well, my King. You’ve earned it.
