This is Thor, he was my partner, my friend, my colleage, my support.
He was a security and defense trained dog, the first time I saw him was 12 years ago, when he was born, he was a tiny and puffy hair ball, our sights crossed once and a special link was created from that moment, I becomed his trainer, from the beginning he showed his inteligence, respect and his love for me, he understand everything I said, we was a perfectly engaged team, no words were needed between us, a little movement of my hand, a sight, a discreet face expresion, he understand everything what I wanted from him, for 9 years we worked together, but he wasn't a working tool for me, he was my friend, when I was sad, he puts his head on my leg adn just watched me, like if he was saying 'Yeah, dude, I understand you, that crap sucks, Can I help you?' he knew me better than myself, we worked like if we were only one mind with two bodies, sometimes I think he was the strongest part of the couple, he confided on me to healt his injuries, I remember once, when another dog attacked him, he got a serious cut on her front leg, he let anybody touch him, except me, I start to heal the cut, he cryed a lot, but he doesn't take off the leg from my hands, he let me do and when I finished, I put my front against his front, and he give me a big dog kiss on my nose.
Unfortunately, Thor has passed out three years ago, he was so sick, the vet said me 'I'm sorry, I can do anything for him, is better to use the injection, is more compasive than let him suffer more' The whole world collapsed over my heart, I asked the vet for stay nearside him while the injection, he let me, I sit on ground Thor puts his head over my knees and the vet put the injection, he fought against the effect of the poisson, he look at me, I look him and said, ok my friend, you can go, I'm ready, he raised up, kiss my face for the last time, put his head on my knees again and closed his eyes, I stay for three hours hugging the dead body of my friend.
I never take another dog for training, I know never will be the same, I asked my boss to leave the K-9 section.
Today three years ago I miss my friend, my partner, three long years without him, while I'm writting this I'm crying.
The best dog I've seen, the best friend, better than some people, because I cannot get that wordless connection with anybody.
Goodbye my dear friend, goodbye Thor.
