I bought myself a malinois ❤❤ he's so loving and well behaved. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan and fell in love with our LAND SHARK! He looks after my beautiful wife when I'm away.
Thousands of ordinary citizens were shot dead by crooked police officers and None of them were airlifted to ER but a canine got celebrity treatment both by Media and Police Team!!! Ordinary Tax Payer Citizens lives have No Value!
As an ex police dog handler in the UK, incidents like this cut straight to my heart! The bravery of our K9 officers knows no bounds! Wishing a speedy recovery to Rocky and my condolences to the fallen officer, his family and colleagues!
To Deputy Rocky's handler, THANK YOU for staying with your injured fellow officer! Blessings to you all and our deepest sympathy to the family of Deputy Jesus Vargas.❤🙏🐕🦺
The look on the men's faces as they carry the dog to the helicopter shows how this dog is as important as the men carrying him to the helicopter. My condolences to Rocky, his fellow officers, family and friends. 🙏🙏🙏 💜🐕🦺💜
He's 18 months old, though, so if he makes a full recovery (physically and psychologically), he'll go nuts in retirement, as he'll want to be out working. Normally in these cases, they will let the dog recover fully physically, then reintroduce him to mock-up scenarios and see how he reacts. If he shows any hesitation, meaning that he doesn't want to do this anymore, then he'll be retired. However, if he doesn't, then they'll allow him to back to active duty. Essentially, they let the dog decide, because forcing him won't work as he wouldn't be effective. If he is retired, then they normally live out life with their handler if they're bonded. Despite Rocky being young, the fact that the handler has refused to leave his side, saying he'll "go home when Rocky goes home", tells me they're bonded! So, regardless of whether he continues to work or not, he's still going to be living with his favourite person 🐾💕
So very sorry for the fallen officer. RIP. Glad the Marshall K9 Rocky on the way to recovering. Such a terrible loss of life. Prayers to the officers family.
No words for the family of Officer Vargas that will change things. His years of service benefited many. I know lots of kids will remember his kindness.
@@paanne1013trash that should not be walking the street.When are we going to get judges that are NOT spineless bastards.We have the same shitty judges in Canada…only care about the criminals rights.
COME ON MAN went thru the same trauma myself these dogs undergo months of training and years of experience they are extremely valuable to the agency and the of course the handler partnered with them they DESERVE the very same respect we would give to a human victim good luck rocky i hope the TRAUMA does not effect you to much after recovery a lot of canines do
Rocky is a police officer and deserves the same respect, etc as any other police officer. Prayers to the Vargas family and prayers for Rocky's full recovery.
Don't be so quick to leap to a judgement whilst some officer do experience PTSD not allowing him back to work with his partner could be incredibly stress provoking for him, his return to duty will be carefully monitored as it would be for any officer after a traumatic event and if he shows signs of not wanting to go back on duty he will be retired to a loving and caring family.
My heart, thoughts and prayers are for Rocky's full recovery. I hope he is retired, and allowed to live his life out in safety, love and comfort. Poor baby - Should never have been put in harms way.......
Houston has been an incredibly violent city at least all of my adult life. I am 68, and was 19 the first time I ever went there. My sister in law, in fast food management, in her early twenties, was robbed at gun point 3 times. The parent company had to post an armed guard in the restaurant. He was present from the moment the 1st employee entered the building, in the morning, until the last person left at night. The politicians are incredibly corrupt. Reminds me of Atlanta. Glad Rocky survived.
God bless the fallen officer deepest condolences to the Family very sad 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏hopefully the deputy dog makes complete recovery 🙏🙏🙏🙏thanku all for ur service
Totally understand where you're coming from 💕🐾 However, Rocky is 18 months old and was bred for this, so there's every chance that retirement so young would drive him mad. I've worked with dog handlers and, usually after situations like this, they make sure that they're both physically and psychologically recovered before sending them back to the field. So, once his wounds have healed, they'll try him on a series of mock scenarios. If he is raring to go, he'll be allowed to work again. But if he shows hesitation (his way of saying "I don't want to do this"), then he'll be retired. So, in the best way they can, they let the dog decide what he wants to do. Either way, he'll get to live out life with the family he loves. The fact that his handler has refused to leave his side shows they're bonded, and handlers are usually given the opportunity to take their dogs in retirement. If he won't leave him in hospital, he's not going to leave him afterwards. So, regardless of his career, Rocky will live out life with his favourite human(s). Hope that allays any concerns 💕🐾
@@t-and-p Was going back to say this if you didn't. And 100% correct military nor any one who has a service/working dog will put a traumatized dog back on the job. Just like you wouldn't send a human solider who has PTSD back on the battlefield because as maybe sad as it may sound they will be more of a setback than helpful (doesn't make them useless just means they are better suited for something else).
God Bless Rocky and his Officer handler. Thank you for your service. As a veterinarian I also want to thank my colleagues who worked on Rocky to save his life. God’s speed to you all❤
Praying for Rocky's full recovery, sending lots of love and hugs to his handler as well. I know he must've been through hell and back with Rocky and that some most brutal limbo to be in. Lord bless them both.
Sending love and best wishes for a speedy recovery from the U.K. What an absolutely wonderfully brave dog, I am a big guy, ex army, but this broke me. My condolences also to the family and relatives of the brave officer who lost his life. What a truly awful world we live in. 2:51
Petition for Rocky's being relieve from his duty. Let him retire from that traumatizing environment. He had already served well for a life he never chosen (they always don't have the choice). Let him live a normal life. That experience is more than enough for him.
Can we retire Rocky from the service? It was NOT his choice in the first place. After that huge trauma, Rocky deserves a real normal family life, living with a lovable family.
I'm so sorry about deputy/officer Vargas. He obviously felt the calling as so many do. To protect and to serve. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences. Know that while you're here and grieving his loss, that VOD has already accepted him into his house. I wish the family, coworkers, officers from other agencies, friends and anyone whose life he touched, faith and continued love of our LORD, as HE loves All of us. Amen
I’m so happy to hear that Deputy Rocky is going to make a full recovery ❤️🩹 My condolences to Deputy Vargas’s family and friends. Thank you all for your service and sacrifices you make everyday!❤️🙏
Abigail, it was kind and thoughtful for you to say what you said at the end about Deputy Vargas. We care very much about Rocky, but we cannot forget how this all happened. I appreciate seeing a human side of reporters and anchors when talking about these tragic and horrible events. Thank you.
All of us in Houston are thankful for Rocky's service. I sure wish that Rocky could have helped save the Officer, such as finding the Bad Guy before he shot the officer. But, Rocky tried to help.
My Condolences to the Fallen Officer's Family... And, Excuse Me, Ms. News Lady... I'm not sure what your Name is... I'm unfamiliar with your News Channel... Anyhow, Please Do Not Address or Refer To that K9 Officer as "It"... That is Very Disrespectful!.... You can call Him "The K9", "The K9 Officer" or by His Name, but again, please DO NOT Refer to Him as "It".... He deserves as much Respect as any other Officer!...
I am so very sorry for the loss of officer Vargas a senseless act, from a person that doesn't even deserve to be called a man, he's a feral thing that should had been locked out long ago, officer Vargas family won't ever be the same without him. Thank God the canine officer could help apprehend the feral thing almost losing is life also, but God is good, I'm sure he will pull through with the help of everyone and the love of his handler. But if the law worked the way it's suppose to, all this tragedy could had been avoided, he should be seating in jail. And officer Vargas would be alive, and Rocky didn't needed to get shot twice that sweat heart dog. Much love to all of you and stay safe from Massachusetts
Those who said the helicopter was a waste of tax payers money should be ashamed.
Son unos ignorantes Americanos
Those that said that are human waste!!
Dipshits
That "dog" is still an officer.... Bots
Yes
RIP Deputy Vargas. 🙏 Thank you for your service.
Marshal Rocky ❤ get better soon.
Amen
Bring me tears seeing Rocky held by his handlers and army, so much love and loyalty.
Same!
Totally agree
Me too😢
I bought myself a malinois ❤❤ he's so loving and well behaved.
I served in Iraq and Afghanistan and fell in love with our LAND SHARK!
He looks after my beautiful wife when I'm away.
