How Many Times Can a Heart Break?
"My heart breaks as I stand in front of an empty cage, thinking about the animal that used to be there. One of many who waited for a happy ending that never came.
My heart breaks as I pet a dog who has so many things against him: his breed, size, color, and age. Yet, he still wants to be my friend.
My heart breaks as I sit on the kennel floor and reach out to an animal that only knows to cringe, waiting for something bad to happen.
My heart breaks as I drive away, wishing I could take every single one home, but knowing that if I did, the cages would just fill up again.
So, before I come back, the pieces of my heart will shift a little and find a new place, held together by determination and stubbornness.
Because I’ve learned in rescue that the answer to “How many times can a heart break?” is as many times as it takes." Credit to respective owner
REST IN PEACE 🕊️
The Garden City Police Department - KS says K9 Kaizen has died after being diagnosed with an extremely aggressive terminal illness.
For the past five years, Kaizen has been an invaluable member of the Garden City Police Department's Patrol Division, GCPD said. As a dual-purpose dog trained for patrol deployments and narcotics detection, his work led to numerous narcotics seizures and the apprehension of felony suspects. He served his community with unwavering courage, boundless enthusiasm, and an eagerness to work that never faded.
Kaizen spent his final day with his partner at home laying on the "forbidden" couch, playing with his favorite ball and eating steak. At the end, Kaizen was surrounded by those who loved him most - his partner, K9 Officer Julian Garcia and his former handler, Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Isaac Gonzalez.
Rest in peace Kaizen. Your work is done. 🐾🙏
