I am a retired 22yr combat veteran, who has seen and witnessed many horrific sights throughout my career. Watching this video made me cry real tears of sadness. I have lost many brothers in arms through the years, these events have affected me, but not like this video has!!! A partner who never questions your command, never questions their duty, and remains loyal to the very end, is a true friend. R.I.P Ben, Heaven is an even safer place now you are on duty.

Ben, thank you for your service and loyalty. As an owner of a German Shepherd, I was crying throughout this video. Glad to see Ben received full honors. May your spirit run free!

Simply beautiful! Its wonderful to see animals receive treatment like human beings :) thank you for your service!

This made me teary eyed. I hope Ben went painlessly. RIP

Love and respect for a "Friend with tail". God bless you!

RIP Ben! I strongly believe that God always opens the gates of Heaven to man's best friend.

You love them just as you would another member of the family. You try to tell yourself they're " just dogs", but that doesn't matter. They are indeed FULL members of your family and you feel the loss just as profound.

That was a beautiful funeral... Than you for sharing...

Thanks for posting the video Ben was a member of my family and it was hard to see him go.

RIP Officer "Ben" God Bless you, and your family...

RIP. Thanks for your service to us Law abiding citizens Bffiiting tribute to a man's best friend

Rest In Peace Ben thanks for serving😔😥

Thank you for posting. This video is not silly at all. They are every bit a warrior as any human

Military and police working dogs are the faithful of the faithful....with love, a german shepherd owner.

Anyone, who isn't mental, that owns a pet knows you bond with them JUST as much as a human. It's just as sad, if not more sad, when a Pet dies because it's usually not their own fault. They don't know what they did. And those are the most tragic human cases as well. That's why it hit's so hard.

Thank You For Serving Ben

A touching video. Thank you for sharing.

Respect!!

This video chokes me up every time i watch it..

This vid is sad, probably the saddest ive seen yet about K9 Deaths. but always remember ben will be on duty now in heaven R.I.P . your god's best friend and commanding officer now.

RIP, BEN/xoxo Thanks for your service to us Law abiding citizens Bffiiting tribute to a man's best friend

@timoz26 to a k9 officer, that dog is his best friend and partner, they live together and work together. this is a very touching video

saluuuuuttttt.. love u ben. GBU

As an aspiring K9 Handler, same as ipdpopo.

to me a funeral is a way of paying respect to a man, woman, or dog

RIP Ben. I'm sure you're in Heaven now getting doggie treats from Jesus!

rip k-9 ben

It would be easy to say this is all very silly. But funerals, any funerals, are really about the people that remain. Policemen, I've noticed are very attached to their dogs. They are probably more attached to their K-9 partners then their human partners. This ceremony isn't silly to them. It should not be to us either: the dog has served it's community, just as a human policeman has. If there's any honors to be given, then this is an appropriate way to do it.

R.I.P

How sad. Anyone know how this dog died?

a K-9 is still a police officer. They get the respect just like any police officer. and i seen videos of police officers shooting someone because that person was trying to kill the K-9.

if u kill a k9 police ofcicer you will get a sentence like it was a person most ppl dont know that o make sure not kill any ppl or these great dogs
