(sorry for the small picture)This is my brother Derek.
He is a police officer.
My brother is a giant.
He is 6 foot 6 inches.
With that height comes a giant personality.
He can make anyone laugh. He is so funny and can make any situation fun.
With a giant personality comes a giant heart too. And his giant heart aches today.
My brothers K-9 police dog, his partner, his buddy died last week.
Renzo became suddenly ill with the major heat wave we had here in Southern California.
Renzo was a good police dog!
He had 15 bites and $50K in drugs seized.
Renzo protected my brother and has saved his life more than once.
Renzo loved my brother and loved his family.
Renzo had one more year to work in the field before he would have to retire, but he didn't quite make it.
My brother loved Renzo, and his giant heart is having a hard time getting over this one.
And I don't blame him, it was his dog, partner and friend.
Derek I love you,
and I'm sorry I never would pet Renzo...I was just too scared.

That's so sad! I totally feel for him!
Hoping Derek's heart heals quickly. Sweet Renzo...sorry I never would pet him either. What a great dog though!
Renzo was what makes Derek a great officer. Renzo was great because Derek loved him and worked with him to be the great partner he was. Renzo will be missed.
so sad. this hits home for me as we have a very special friend, Buddy who is our german shepherd. they are such amazing animals and friends. I can understand why your brother is grieving the loss of his partner. because that's just what he was. His work partner. he was there for him. always. he protected him and did his job as he was trained to. may your brother feel a sense of peace soon.
