Rocco was a brave officer who died in the line of duty.
His whole police department and fellow officers(canine and human) must really be feeling his loss. My heart goes out to them.
I am glad they treat the police dogs with the same respect and loyalty that they give to any other serving police officer. I noticed the officers gathered outside the vet clinic keeping vigil. It is a recognition that dogs choose to serve the same as any other officer and as such they deserve every respect and honor possible when they pay for their service with their lives.
