A few weeks ago there was a discussion going on about police dogs here and whether or not they were equipment or officers. Today a friend of mine died in my arms. Bandit wasn't a piece of equipment or a person. He was a happy part of the family. He could be depended on to make you laugh and make you feel welcome. I'm going to miss that ball of fur but only because I loved him and he loved everyone. He was a dog with feelings, with a heart and soul. His only purpose in life was to bring a smile to your face.
