Marco tribute

[MsTexan1964]

I'm a crying mess after seeing that.. very beautiful

[createsf]

What a beautiful tribute. Can you post more information about him in the video description area, i.e. when he retired, how was it that he passed on 2/11/2007 (illness? injury)...such a handsome animal and given his service, it would be great to see that information upfront rather than trying to scroll through all the postings, It's coming up on 4 years. I imagine that you still think about him.

[MarcoK9861]

I wish I was getting a new partner. Unfortunately they said I was too old. One of the younger members of the department got the new dog. He has been named Ekko. I work with him, helping him train as much as possible, and it makes me feel like I am still helping in K-9. I have since adopted 2 German Shepherd Dogs from shelters, and they help heal my heart.

You and Kevin are the real heroes. I wish you the best, and hope you remember all of Kevin's best moments.

[sniper2665]

[MarcoK9861]

I am so sorry. I at least had 10 years with Marco, and he had been retired just under a year. I had been a military working dog handler in my younger days in the Air Force. I thank you for your service and your sacrifice. It is too bad Kevin had to pay the ultimate sacrifice.

[laurianni]

What a touching video tribute. I love this, even though it does make me cry. These dogs are partners, friends, confidants. The bond is like no other. Bless you.....

sorry for ur loss

[NOMforlife]

Hi I know how you feel my dad is a garda dog handler and his dog recently passed on and also our pet labrador Lucky had to be put down on saturday 25th July. I know how you feel.

GARDA = IRELANDS POLICE

[MarcoK9861]

I know the Garda well. In 1992 I spent St. Patrick's evening in the Garda Hall when visiting Ireland. Please give your dad my condolences on the loss of his partner. It was 3 years ago when I lost Marco, and I am still not over it. Also accept my condolences on the loss of Lucky. It is never easy to lose a friend and companion.

Wonderful tribute to a beautiful dog. I was a dog handler during Vietnam. I know your loss and feel your pain. It does me good to see tributes like yours. Our faithful dogs will always live in our hearts.

Thank you
