Tissues required, most definitely.

Kye is a K-9 who will be forever known for his loyalty and bravery. Sadly, the 3-year-old German shepherd died in the line of duty when he was stabbed repeatedly by a burglar, who was also died at the scene. Staff Sgt. Ryan Stark was Kye’s handler who had to go to great measures to take control of the crime scene.

This wasn’t the first time that Sgt. Stark lost one his K-9 partners. Just a few short years ago he lost his K-9 co-worker Jake who died of old age. To ease the grieving police officer’s pain the Oklahoma City Police Department said goodbye to Kye with a funeral complete with full honors — just as anyone who lays down his life for another deserves.

Funeral at a church.

With full honours.

It cannot be anything less. and rightly so.

Kye laid down his life for his friend and handler, Sgt Ryan Stark. He is a hero, by all counts.

May you be in a good place, Kye.
