Gunner the SAR rottie

[rottie597]

I recently asked on another board for people to volunteer to write letters to the LA Times columnist who is calling for "rottie profiling". One man who owned and handled a SAR rottie, Gunner, wrote her a letter in which he mentioned that Gunner had gone to the bridge. It turns out that Gunner just left him on the 8th of this month. This was a truly wonderful rottie boy who searched for survivors at both OK City bombing and in NYC on 9/11. When not doing SAR, Gunner did therapy work.

It took a lot for this man to write a letter about Gunner so soon after his passing but it will hopefully show this columnist how important our breed is to us. Please light a candle or say a prayer for dear Gunner (and his owner )tonight as he did so much for so many people during his time on earth.

Please let Gunner's owner know that he our sympathies and prayers. We all know too well the terrible loss he must feel. God Speed Gunner, thanks for eveything you have done...

A prayer and a candle, for Gunner, to light his way to the bridge.
