Maybe someone will think that, if something should happen to you, and or, possibly someone in your family, and they needed the dog to help find someone of your family. He was just a dog, how could he help them, and hopefully lot's of people, I would hope, would ask the same question about you? Those dogs are family, and protect the officer they are with, at all expense, and will not question why. How many people do you know that would do this?
