A man and his best friend..............

AURORA, Colo. — A K-9 with the Aurora Police Department died on Saturday after he contracted an untreatable illness.
On Saturday afternoon, Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz tweeted that K-9 Draco had been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Veterinary staff worked to help him as much as possible and officers, including the K-9's partner Office Matt Green, stayed with Draco throughout the day.
In the early evening, the police department announced Draco had passed away. His illness was not treatable and the police department and vets made the decision to end his suffering. Police did not specify his illness.



Draco was surrounded by his owners, police officers and vet staff as he passed away. His body will be cremated and will stay with Green.
The department said they decided to donate Draco’s brain for research, and to learn more about his illness and how to possibly prevent it in the future.
Want to offer your condolences? The police department said they are accepting cards. You can address them to the department or Officer Green and mail them to 13347 E. Montview Boulevard, Aurora, CO, 80010.redistributed.

Most of us have been there and knows how that feels. The more they bless our lives the more it hurts when it is time for their next journey to begin.

Man that's hard. They give so much and all they want is a spot at your feet (preferably on the bed!) and a good treat with their food now and again --last bite of whatever you're having is usually good. And of course a belly rub and a scratch behind the ears and under the chin. Oh, and a "good boy!" or "good girl!". Then for that or even less, they're willing to give us their all.

Every man should own a dog or two

A real dog, one that goes outside without you carrying it. A dog that does not ride in your lap while you drive or sit in your purse at the movies. A dog that you don't try and take into restaurants because you are insecure and pathetic.

I would love to agree with you but there are way too many people that don't deserve the love and affection of a dog.

He will eat a couple of donuts and be back to saving us by writing seatbelt tickets in a day or two.
