Heroic Police Dog Protects Home Despite Being Shot Several Times

So sad

I think they should do the same thing to the little spineless thugs! Euthanize them!

This breaks my heart. Sometimes I think people who can commit this type of action, really don't have a heart, and if they do it's very black.
I'm sure this trooper will remember his loyal companion and partner as a hero….

No Susan, they should do to them what they did to this dog!!! Let them live in pain then euthanize them!!!!!!!

I feel so sorry for Trooper Boody. I feel his loss.

This was just not any dog. He was a K-9 and he was shot by these fools who have nothing better to do. Were they after the Trooper? This should be treated as though they shot a State Trooper, plain murder.

actually, linda, they waited till the Trooper left hoping he would have guns they could steal and sell, according to the confession of the one suspect, who was wearing a ankle monitor when he committed the crime. He was on current probation for a previous burglary. i tried to be as neutral as i could when i wrote this article but shooting an animal is a very low life crime.

they should be charged with killing a police officer, he's a retired k-9. Poor brave dog, my heart goes out to Trooper Boody. Shoot the pieces for crap that did this and be done they are beyond redemption.

how sad! how sad! I hate to hear about animals being tortured and having to endure pain to save the family they so dearly love! R.I.P. Drake!

I wish I could convey my sympathy to Trooper Boody over the loss of his best friend. Just so tragic!

You know that poor dog, all he was trained to do his whole life is to protect his owner and the home in which he lives. Then because some ignorant little bastards who probably get a job due though their inability to think decided to pick a home to rob and in the process they ran into a beautiful but strong dog who knows nothing but to defend what is theirs. I say let the kids who did this serve as adults non the less and put them in a place where they can feel the pain they did to not only Boody but to poor Drake who did absolutely nothing but serve and love unconditionally. Like Linda said it's just plain murder!

Send the kid my way- I bet some wild dogs would like some dinner.

I wish somebody would shoot that kid in th neck and let him sit there and suffer. I want to watch!!

Put this punk & his accomplices away for good. I am so sorry for your loss & the pain this has caused you.

Yes I agree it is a very low life crime. This animal was a law enforcement trained dog. Killing a K-9 is the same as killing one of our Troopers. My daughter serves as a North Carolina State Trooper. We just lost a fine Trooper two months ago by another low life. May it be human or animal, we respect them for serving us and protecting and giving their lives for us all. May God Bless all our men and women and four legged Troopers during these tough times.

I feel horrible for the police officer. This kid had no care or concern for what he did. Well I have no guilt for what punishment he gets! Rest I dog heaven sweet animal.

Thank you to everyone trying to save Drake's life. I certainly hope that justice will be served. Not only was an innocent being brutally murdered, but this is also an indication of what might happen if this scum is not found and locked up. There is no regard for life, period. These P.O.S.'s are not worth the air they're breathing. Find them, lock them up and lose the key!

I hope this scum should suffer a lot before he dies, and continue to suffer in hell.

They need to shot him let him fell the pain that poor dog felt

HOW SAD LET THEM ROTT IN JAIL FOREVER

BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES

I totally agree with you. This is such a sad story. I don't care if Drake was a dog, he was a police officer. The ones that shot him need to be punished severely for what they did. My condolences go out to Bobby Boody. It's so hard to lose a pet. Drake may have been a police dog but he was still a loyal pet. I know Officer Boody is having a hard time with the loss. He died doing what he was trained to do but the knowing it was some young thugs that were responsible for his death makes my blood boil. I hope they catch the other two that were involved. God Bless all the doctors that tried to save him. RIP Drake

That poor little face. He looked so scared. It just kills me. What the hell is wrong with these people these days? The laws have gotten so lax on parents being able to pusnish their kids because of abuse, kids aren't afraid of consequenses anymore.

I can't forget Drake's face. I've saved his photo. Every time I look at him, I have to go hug my dog.

I feel so bad for the owner of duke I hope those people who shot duke get put in jail for a long time

That is so sad it made me cry

I understand you feelings and i do feel that shooting any law enforcement officer, human or canine, is a crime against a law enforcement officer. it also brings up a new issue, which is what special protection and laws need to be enacted for crimes against retired police officers; especially if committed by someone they dealt with while active as a police officer. Drake was retired and simply Bobby's best friend. a role just as important as k9 patrol. even worse, the kid who killed him was on probation for a similar crime and even wearing an ankle monitor at the time of the murder. CAN WE SPELL INCORRIGIBLE.

My heart goes out to Trooper Boody and his family. So sad to lose such a wonderful dog. The ones who did this should be charged with murder, if a peerson had been home they would have met with the same fate. Heartless people like this need to be incarcerated.

This is why I always say not every lives are precious and some people are better off not being born at all. What good do these little bastards serve? Nothing at all.

Kid? He knew exactly what he was doing. Try him and his buddies in the court of law as grown men! This country of ours needs to stop babying these murderers. He is not a kid in my mind. We have 17 year olds fighting for our country. Now they are real men. Way to many excuses for this behavior which continues over and over. Slap a ankle monitor and set them loose to continue on being the cowards they are. Bread and water and a good kick in the six! Bring back the chain gangs.

I am so sorry for officer boody and that poor puppy and that kid needs some help

I agree with melissa hutton adams and too bad its only a 16yr old cause he will prob just get a slap on the wrist even though hes already in the system that would be a life sentance as far as I'm concerned.

I'm in so much in tears i hope this bastard get kill in jail RIP Drake

My heart goes out to the officer, it hurts to lose a dog. My sister, a big animal lover, always said if they are eating, there's hope. If they can't eat, it's kinder to put them down.

that kid is a monster and beyond help. he needs to spend the rest of his life in prison, where he cannot do this to another being ever.

prime example of what wrong with our criminal justice system. they are busy making money off criminals on house arrest and probation instead of making them serve their time in jail, and it puts innocent citizens at risk constantly. obvious making that money off scumbags is more important than protecting the innocent…..sad state of affairs. RIP DUKE.

That dog story was too sad. I feel badly for the owner but the vets tried the beat they could. Kid should go to jail

As the wife of a police officer and an animal rescuer this makes my blood boil These feral thugs need to be shot on sight. Save the taxpayers the time and money. These thugs treat each OTHER that way, what do you expect? Rest in peace, Drake.

They need to end the welfare state that created him and all the other criminals just like him.

Vickie Mann — I don't think they should euthanize them. Let the little turds suffer and mock them while they're begging for help.

I'll bring marshmallows. We'll have smoores. And then giggle when they whine in pain. I'm not a total inhumane sadist.. but there's a difference between breaking into a home and locking an animal in a room to get what you want and straight up being an inhuman little fuckass. Pardon my language!

I'm pretty sure my 90 lb German Shepherd would love some dinner too. The fact they're men [and likely black, this isn't racism speaking, this is statistics] she'd have even more of a field day. She was a rescue from a puppymill run by a group of men, most of which were black and she was treated very horribly. She likes women.. men? My poor tiny boyfriend is scared crapless of her! Please send these little bastards my way so Maurice and my dog can eat them!

It won't happen. It was only a dog. He's 16. This little shit could have murdered the dog, Boody and his entire family and he'd get away with it because he's a minor. "he doesn't know any better" "he came from a broken home" "he's a poor put upon minority" name your pathetic excuse, at 16 you know it's wrong to shoot something living and break into homes.

Jail is too good for him. I vote we toss him in an gator pond. They can munch on him for dinner. Too bad zombies in the Walking Dead aren't real… hmmm…

I like how you think. As racist as it might sound, I'll put $10 on it that the kids aren't white. As much as I hate saying that because it makes me sound ill-bred, but statistically you don't see a lot of punk ass white kids [especially in Florida] breaking into homes in groups of threes and fours wielding guns and shooting animals. The majority of them know their butt holes from holes in the ground and know that it'll get them sent away. This kid has a rap sheet longer than my arm though. Sad state the US has come to that he'll get off, do it again. They could spare themselves the time though. Anyone that would do this to an animal, would do it to a human with even less thought. I'd be surprised if he hadn't already shot or killed another person.

The area is 34% black. Facts aren't racist. I wish they would break into my home. I'm ready.

Give them the death penalty they will always be in trouble one of them had on a ankle bracelet so he hasn't learned RIP Drake.

What a hero…so sad for this troopers loss….little bastard that did this will get whats coming to him..karma is a bitch..

Andie IAm….guessing ur not one of the idiots who re-elected the welfare king….lol

Shoot him in exactly the same place's and do nothing for 7 time's the length of time Drake was left alone to suffer, Remember dog's age 7 time's faster than us, then just tell him that nothing can be done and put him out of our misery

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em0sapkp2mM WHEN DO OUR PEOPLE PROTECT US PLS SHARE !!!!

"Drake was a hero and a loyal best friend. The former K9 patrol dog was just protecting the property of his master, Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Bobby Boody, when armed robbers broke into their house. Trooper Boody was not at home and Drake did his best to fight off the violent intruders, despite being shot several times."

I pray for this dog's recovery for his sake and his owner's….

But reading this is like eating a greasy coin… Many and most of our dogs were doing just as they should be – just as Drake did. Only they are not hero's – they are threats worthy of justifiable shooting. Tell me – when police break open your door, or enter your property do you think any dog on earth determines that it's a cop and not an intruder? Don't our dog's have the very same right to valor as Drake? 250K pets annually are shot by police with many owners powerless to fight.

Get well soon Drake – you are a gooooood boy!

For FUCK'S sake, this is neither the time or place!

Please contact Peter Antonacci, State Attorney General and encourage him to seek the maximum sentence allowed for this crime: StateAttorney@sa15.state.fl.us.

I would give anything to be on that jury.

The sad thing is they will get what is it 90 days in jail and a fine and out free to do it again. The laws on animal abuse is to light. An animal is a living thing just like a persons child. They should get the book thrown at them. And not in a juvi system they should be tried as adults and it should be a murder charge.

Let them suffer. Then put them away for killing a police officer

It does matter drake was retired the kid should be charged and proscuted to the full power of the law

An eye for an eye…a tooth fr a tooth…these thugs deserve to suffer!

Hope he is going down for the crime to shot a K9 dog is like shotting a police officer. Really stupid and wearing a ankle mont.

it is very sad.. and yet dogs are shot by the POLICE everyday.. and many times for no reason at all.

Drake deserves justice and he has a very good chance of getting it. Tragic circumstances. However, tell me – when police enter your property do you think any dog on earth determines that it's a cop and not an intruder? Don't our dog's have the very same right to valor as Drake? Justice is also deserved for Cisco, Ice, Buddy, Boyd, Moco, Penny and many more. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2130834/Man-launches-online-campaign-dog-shot-dead-police-officer-responded-WRONG-address.html

This really broke my heart. I hope they all get prosecuted to the fullest!
