Congratulations on being crowned Dog of the Day, brave, beautiful Xanto!
Let me just say, your mommy Kristen's poem, her heartfelt tribute to her partner, protector, friend and family member, has me in tears. How beautiful!
What a great honor it is too meet you, Xanto, to have the chance to salute you and pay tribute to you and your handler/mom Kristen's selfless dedication! You, and she, are heroes in my book! For 10 years you have served your country, your county, your community (on SO many levels) with such selfless devotion, helping to keep us safe, protecting us from harm! And now it's our turn to serve you, and your turn to relax, to spend time enjoying your family, your well earned retirement; to pass the baton on to another worthy canine officer! Yours are some mighty big pawprints to fill, but I have no doubt your heir will do your amazing legacy proud! (Hard to top this, however!)
There aren't words enough to describe just how special you are, Xanto. You're one in a million, and your mommy Kristin and your family, all who know and love you, have been touched by you, so very blessed to have known your love, your service and devotion! Now fingers crossed that soon you reach your goal! You're 1/3 there! I for sure will be donating, and sharing your GoFundMe page on my FB and Twitter accounts!In 2010 Xanto received the prestigious honor of becoming the first Police K-9 to ever be inducted into the Alabama Animal Hall of Fame by the Alabama Veterinary Medical Association.
God bless you, Xanto! Enjoy your well earned day of honor, being loved and pampered to pieces by your mommy and loving family! (Hope you have the day off!) Much love, hugs and kisses to you, brave and beautiful Xanto, Hero Canine, Dog of a Lifetime!
