Please help Elena honor her father, Officer Eric Joering…

On February 10th, Officer Anthony Morelli and Officer Eric Joering were killed in the line of duty while investigating a 911 hang-up call in Westerville, Ohio. Officer Morelli leaves behind his wife Linda, son Chris, and daughter Beth. Officer Joering leaves behind his wife Jami, and three daughters Elena, Eva and Ella.

On February 20th, the Westerville City Council voted unanimously to officially retire Officer Joering’s K9 partner, Sam, and allow him to go home with the Joering family to help bring comfort to them after the loss of their father.

Eldest daughter Elena will now be his handler.

Elena wants to honor her father by collecting and wearing K9 shirts from police departments across the country!

Can you help us make this happen?

Elena wears an Adult Small.

The shirt from your department can be sent to:

Justin Alloway
Westerville Police Department
29 S State Street
Westerville, Ohio 43081

The story from NBC San Diego by Danielle Radin:

The K9 is making waves on Instagram with hundreds of thousands of followers

Meet Jester!

The K9 with the El Cajon Police Department who is going viral online.

The 4-year-old Belgian Malinois has been with officer Jordan Walker since 2015. Jester lives with officer Walker at his home and the two are inseparable.

Officer Walker noticed that Jester is a special dog who had qualities people might like, so he started an Instagram account for him.

The account now has nearly 120,000 followers!

Fans can see videos of Jester as well as pictures of him dressed up in adorable hats, from Krispy Kreme to reindeer antlers.

But don’t be fooled by his adorable charm, officers warn. Jester has been through the general Police Service Dog Academy as well as the Narcotics Academy, making him a fully trained crime-fighting machine.


You can watch a video of Jester from Joe Little at Channel 10 news in San Diego here.

There’s still time to purchase tickets!!
