Thoughts of all K-9 handlers.
K-9 Handlers have a very special relationship with their dogs and over time that grows. They feel a great loss when something happens to their partner. This section is dedicated to those gone but not forgotten....
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
K-9 Bojar
 Handler - Emory Griffith
K-9 Bojar (pronounced Bo-yar) was a male German Shepherd who was imported from the Czech Republic. We started our career together with the City of Lawrenceville in the year 2000. Bojar ‘had my back’ on a full-time basis from 2000 – 2005. After his retirement, I brought him out on K-9 training days to keep him active and he occasionally ran police calls when needed. His last call as a police dog took place in 2007. The vet had estimated his age to be somewhere between 13 and 14 years old.

Retired from the THPD on November 18th. Mayor of Terre Haute Proclaimed this day as “Cinto Day”.
While on duty found over $140,000 worth of narcotics leading to over 400 arrests. Cinto was a very loyal and proud member of the Terre Haute Police Department. Cinto was also a very important part of our family. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor after a terrifying seizure left him unaware of his surroundings. After he awoke he was in true form, a police dog thinking strangers were in his home and was in attack mode. He was treated by Dr. Lee of the Cross Vet Clinic that evening. Within a few days of the seizure, Cinto told us it was time to let go. He passed away in the company of all Terre Haute K-9 officers, Sellyville K-9 officer, Brian and his family. He will be often thought of and sadly missed.
"Cinto was truly an amazing dog, best friend, and HERO."
