The bickering going on here is rather ridiculous, if you ask me. This is a public forum for people share their opinion. And although I don't agree with a couple of the ones being posted, I still respect the fact that they have the right to have them. Have we come so far from the basic principles of humanity that we must resort to name calling and arguing? K9 Officer Viper, was a great asset to the BCSO and to those that loved him, he was a charished companion and friend. Unfortunately, he made the ultimate sacrifice this weekend trying to help those in need and keep this county safe from the criminal element. Does he deserve a memorial? In my opinion, yes, he does. Not everyone can understand this, and that is fine. However, at least show some respect to those that are in mourning and reach deep down and find your compassion and empathy and try to refrain from your disrespectful reproach. Let those that wish to remember Officer Viper have their memorial and stop trying to demean their grief. My heartfelt sympathy goes to the BCSO, Deputy Zeller and his family, and all those whose lives may have been touched by Officer Viper.
