Today I lost a close friend and old partner. His name is Ike Von. He was retired from Security work where he was trained in Criminal Apprehension, Handler Protection, etc. I worked him in the private security industry until my health caused us both to take an early retirement. He was wonderful at his job. Ike was involved in many public Demo's, and events where he had such a wonderful demeanor that he could be petted by the children after a Demo without needing a muzzle. I am not sure if you all would be willing, but there would be no bigger honor to a K-9 that always gave his all. After being retired, he always waited at the door to return to work. He loved life and people until cancer took him from us at the age of 6 years old. I would appreciate anything you could do to honor his memory. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you guys do! The attachments are a picture of him and them a photo of us working. They have been scanned with anti-virus software.

  Ike was born in Arizona. His sire and dame were both from Germany. He was working by the time he was 2 years old. It came naturally to him. Ike and I were partners with CCS Security Services out of Mesa, Az where he was a patrol K-9. Everyday, after I put on my uniform, he would run to the counter where I kept his badge, collar and lead, and waited anxiously for me to place his badge on his neck. He wore it with as much pride as any man or woman in uniform. He willingly protected me during countless incidents in which I know that I may have been injured due to being out numbered and isolated.    Ike was also a wonderful pet when he was at home. He loved to play with our children and had a gentle heart. Ike loved to work so much that he was trying to work, protecting the car on the way to the Vet on the day that he had to be laid to rest. My family and I will miss Ike and pray that he is enjoying his new found youth in the afterlife.
