Happy Birthday Ando. I continue to miss terribly. Till we meet again my faithful friend.
Love, Mom

I've been missing you deeply the last few days. I miss you always but sometimes I miss you to the extreme.
I look at your photos and wish you were here. My wish has yet to come true. But one day, it will, as we will meet again.

I laid you to rest one year ago yesterday. That day was the most difficult of my life. Knowing my friend, partner and protector was not next to me caused the most pain I've ever endured.
You've visited me 3 times in my dreams as well as through Dugan, I thank you for that.
I miss you Ando. I wish I could hold you, kiss you, and plant my face in your fur. I miss working together but we will work together again when I get there.
RIP my boy. You are still very deep in my heart, mind and soul.
I love you!

Brandi, my heart goes out to you today, so sorry you lost such an amazing friend, sounds like he was an amazing dog. One day you will be reunited, cherish the memories, happy birthday Ando and best wishes Brandi. Bazza.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BOY! You would have been 12 years old today. I miss you SO much. Life has not been the same without you.
Love, Mom

I had to you to rest yesterday, Sept. 26, 2009. I've lost my protector, partner, and best friend. It was so hard for me. But I know you are no longer suffering. You are pain free, cancer free.
May you rest in peace my boy. We will meet again at Rainbow Bridge. I love and miss you SO much, Mom

This is Ando's Owner. I've been trying for 4 years to get him registered on this site w/ no success and thanks to my great friend, you know who you are, for getting him on here for me.
Ando is the ideal example of a working Police dog and the working German Shepherd. He has the natural instinct to protect, loves children, is handler easy, loves to sniff out drugs: as he is Certified with the Ohio Peace Officers Training Commission (OPOTA)and is superb with his family and others. Though don't let his kindness fool the criminal.
He is certified and great at identifying: Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamines and their derivatives.
He is trained for patrol: Officer protection, building search and area search. I also owe a great thank you to his Breeder for producing such a magnificent dog (Charlie Oren of Tsalihaus Kennels) And to Joe Gribbens for putting beyond such great exstensive foundation training on Ando before I even knew my boy existed.
Ando has made my life long dream of being a Police K9 Officer come true. I'm greatful to have such a wonderful dog walk by myside.
