With deepest sympathies on the loss of your dear companion and co-worker. He was a beauty!

What a beauty! I am so sad to see him gone. I have a 13 year old lab who is sick and he is my companion and the thought of him being gone brings tears.

I saw a demonstration of Shep's work in the Citizens Academy and he was amazing. I am sorry for the loss of the department and especially his partner.

Dogs are family, only difference is he had two, the police dept. and his handler and family. He did his job and will be sorly missed. On a side note, if lakewood ends its bsl ban, there are many pit bull's that can do the same job all over the country...Hint, Hint...Now go play with all the other dogs at the bridge, you earned it, Shep...

Very sorry for his loss, saw him in his car so many times

And no more with Old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home ..."

Sorry about Shep. I hope he gets some kind of a Police/Hero service though. May I suggest a Rhodesian Ridgeback (African Lion Hunter) they are known to stare Death in the face, and step forward. My Rhodi also has the nickname of Hoover, he has a fantastic nose. They also have less health issues like Shepards do.

So very sorry about not only the Police Dept's loss but the City of Lakewood. Thank you, Shep for your service to the community. My deepest sympathies to his handler (partner) and family. I know his loss is much deeper for you. RIP Shep.

I took the Police Academy course several years ago which was wonderful. On my "ride along" on a Sat. nite (my choice), I was paired with a terrific policewoman.
Being in my 60's at the time and considered a little old white haired lady, I was tickled to see Chris and Shep always standing a ways behind us whenever we went to a "call". We had some pretty serious things happen, but I was never afraid because of my wonderful capable partner and our two little guardian angels watching over us. To lose your little love breaks your heart but how lucky we were to have known Shep. I have lived iin Lakewood for 46 years and have always been so proud and appreciative of our police and firemen who care for us as well as our four legged friends. My heartfelt thanks to you all and to Shep, who will never be forgotten. Take heart, Chris, he will love you always.

My condolences to the Police Department and especially to his handler who lost a close friend and partner. Shep's wprk and that of the entire department is most appreciated.

I remember Shep. My beloved lab 'Riley passed away last Wednesday. I remember reading this and crying. He was my family and will be forever missed. Hopefully he is with Shep running in heaven.
