This K-9 and his partner did everything right they both went home after every shift. Happy retirement K-9 Tex thank you for your service. And to your handler partner great job you kept your guy safe. Good luck to the both of you 👍👍👍👍👍
Beautifully said. I pray this pup lives out the best life ever. God bless him. God bless this gentleman. I feel like crying. I hope the dog is so happy.
So precious that the officer and dispatch bid him off with such honor and respect for his service over the years 💕🐾🥰💕🐾 I just love this! Thank you! ❤🐶❤ I only hope that Officer Nehls keeps him as his loving companion after all they've been through together. That would be the ideal retirement gift! A loving forever home! 🥰🐶🥰
Most handlers keep their fur partners and they are still taken care of by the county all vet bills and food is taken care all the handler buys is bedding and toys
@@audrakusher2519a lot of places won’t let the handler keep the k9 and they end up putting them down, it’s sad but that’s just from what I have experienced growing up around multiple police k9 handlers (my father, brothers, and my uncle) the reason they give for not allowing the k9 to just live with the handler once retired was always “it’s a liability”
What a beautiful dog. Sounds like he did his job well with the guidance of his talented handler. It takes two to make a team like that! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, imstill wiping tears away. K9tex is so in tune with this officers feelingshe seems to know something is different about this day with his buddy, verysweet.😅
Tek - thank you so much for your stellar service and for protecting your handler and the citizens of your District. Here’s to a long retirement full of treats, pets, playing and love.
How could they do this without tearing up is beyond me....I have tears flowing!! I hate good bye's and I am grateful how many of these heroes exit in one piece!! Blessings to all involved!!
The dogs are officially sworn officers that hold ranks just like their handlers. Attacking a police K-9 comes with the same charges as attacking a police officer. It's only right that they honor them the same as they would any other officer, it would be a damn shame if they didn't, same with dogs in the military.
You hurt a Police Dog, it's treated like a Police officer... Our town just had a Funeral at the Funeral Home for one of their K-9 Dogs.... They had like 30 Police SUV's going from the Police Station to the Funeral Home. ❤
WOW!!!, What a HERO, excellent job, you handsome Shepherd 👏 💗🐾🐕🥰. GOD ALWAYS BLESS YOU 🙌. Happy Blessed Retirement K-9 Tex💕. Thank you for your SERVICE and BRAVERY...You are FEARLESS 🙏. You will ALWAYS be a HERO!.
Officer Tex, enjoy your retirement beautiful dog with your master. I can tell by your face that as long as you are with him you will be content. Respect to you both and luv from Aus.
This is so very emotional... I can't hold back my tears; and can only imagine how the officer must be feeling? Wishing safety and love for them both... Cheers & Prayers!
Thank you K9 Tek for your service in keeping your hooman, Lt. Nehls, and the citizens of your county safe. 38.5 years is a pretty good run in this profession.
I dated a retired under cover officer who had a K9 when he retired. He had to put his dog down, he said it was the hardest thing he ever had to do. I don't know why, but it broke his heart. They had many awards. It was very dangerous work. Hope they Don't have to now! I love animals so much.
I can't help but tear up for every one of these final calls for k9s. Cause you just know how much they enjoy doing their jobs. Lots of treats, sun, toys and runs during retirement.
I have a real soft spot for shepherds and knowing how loyal they are and they risk their lives to save others. God Bless this pup as he served his country well. Enjoy retirement ❤❤❤
Farewell Tex. What a special bond a human being can develop with his canine partner. Thanks for your service and best wishes to wherever you go. Thanks for sharing this lieutenant Nehls.
Another HERO walks off into the sunset. I’m thankful for TEKS service and that he is able to retire and hopefully live the rest of his days well loved and cared for. 👏👏👏👍❤️
If he's in the position to ? Looks like there's a high chance his handler will adopt him ? Awesome bond shining through 🌟 If for what ever reason he's not able to ? Let's hope this k9 goes to an extra loving family ..... Infact, Let's hope that all rescue animals go to extra loving homes 💕💕💕
He deserves all the thanks and honors from his colleagues,especially his handler May God give him a lovely home and more and more years of joyful life Thank you officer Love and blessings from CYPRUS 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Most of the time they stay with the cop but not all the time it all depends on the cop most of the time if they want to keep there k9 or not I guess it might be different in every state
What a lovely tribute to a wonderful pop! The great injustice of having a dog is that we had them for such a short amount of time. Many blessings to K9 Tek in his golden years ❤
There's nothing like having a German Shepherd or other kind of dog to ride along with you and be your protector and you being its protector. That dog hopefully lives on with the family as their in-house protector. He is a very handsome animal.
Thank you Tek and your human coworker for your years of service. So happy he survived & hope the rest of his life is full of nummies, toys & continued love.
What an absolutely wonderful doggy,and may you live the rest of your life in a wonderful and loving home and spend all of your time with your loving family.
This it’s one of the very best podcast. I have watched what a blessing for this officer to be able to honor his dog after so many years of service it makes my heart seem to see him do this you can tell he is sad to lose his partner, but that he is happy, his partner is retiring with everything in tact what a wonderful thing this video is priceless. I’m sending many blessings to the officer and to his K9 so that they can both have a wonderful retirement and may many blessings be given to both of them for the faithfully served their country and fulfilled their duty, I love them both so very much. Thank you and I appreciate your service more than you’ll ever know. Much love and hugs.💙💞💕💙

Thank you for giving that amazing officer he recognition. He all know he would lay is life for others. Thank you Tex. , thank you for your service💙 Hope you Keeper him, cause that puppy loves you❤
Wow! Congratulations Officer Tex for your bravery and dedication. We love you and your partner and all of you officers out there. Thank you and your families. ♥️
I know he doesn't understand this. But he knows something is up. He knows his buddy is upset about something. They love each other so much. I hope Lt gets to keep him now as his own pup. Thank you for your service K9 Tex. You will always be remembered by the department. Have a wonderful retirement. It's time for you to be a dog and have as much as you can.
My dad was a K9 cop along with his partner Duke when I was growing up in the 70's. A great partner to my dad and our family dog who loved to be on duty with my dad. He would run out to my dad's car to go to work. I miss Duke. he was an amazing dog.
Awwww I wanted to cry.....I'm a grown 59 year old. I love shepherds and Rottweilers. Both good police dogs. I hope he gets spoiled for the rest of his life!!! God knows what he has encountered
I love how they officially thank these beautiful and clever dogs for their devotion and service. They risk their lives to protect and serve. The dogs have loved every moment of doing their jobs. Given the choice, they probably wouldn't retire, but I'm glad they are able to live the rest of their lives being spoiled rotten 😊
