supreme of sacrifices? SAN DIEGO -- Authorities said that a San Diego K-9 who was repeatedly stabbed in the rib cage while he tried to stop a suspect earlier this week will be fine.
Two-year-old Jake stopped a knife-wielding man atop the Travelodge motel's third-story balcony in Talmadge.


Unfortunately, not even a month ago, a K9, Stryker was killed.


CAMP PENDLETON -- A funeral service for Stryker, the Oceanside police dog who died after falling from the Coronado Bay Bridge on New Year's Eve, drew about 100 police dogs and their handlers to North County from throughout Southern California on Monday.
Stryker was killed during an incident that began at about 6:45 p.m. on Dec. 31, when Oceanside police attempted to stop a GMC pickup on College Boulevard in Oceanside. Rather than pulling over, the vehicle's driver led police on a 47-mile chase west on Highway 76 then south on I-5.
The driver, later identified as Cory Nathaniel Byron of Vista, eventually stopped and exited his vehicle halfway across the Coronado Bay Bridge.
According to an official account by the Oceanside Police Department, Sadler released Stryker, who bit the suspect's arm and wrestled him to the ground. Byron then flung himself from the bridge at about 7:25 p.m. with Stryker still attached.
Byron survived the fall with a collapsed lung.

The police canines don't get enough credit for what they're doing out there every day.
They are those that use their bravery or brawn to serve humans.

Best post of the week.

They are recognized and highly respected!

I'm telling you though, I wouldn't want to be a bomb sniffing dog
