What a handsome boy you are Xanto, and such a noble boy, working first for our nation to help protect and serve troops, and then for so many years in Alabama helping so many different law enforcement agencies, too! And all these last 8 years, you have also been a very important part of your human's family, too! Eleven is a venerable age for a German Shepherd, and we can see the white has begun to creep into your handsome dark face. We know that you will be very much loved even when you retire, and we hope your county can find a way to get your replacement zoo, so you can just play with your boy and the rest of your family, instead of having to worry about getting bad guys or jumping out of helicopters! Congratulations, sweet Xanto - you are now Dog of the Day for the whole world to celebrate!
