After more than fifteen years of devoted service as an officer, Michael Carter had devoted his life to the force. But suddenly his world was falling apart as he sat in handcuffs in a courtroom.
With terrible finality, the judge’s gavel reverberated around the room: “Guilty.” Michael was numb. He was aware that he had been set up, with evidence purposefully fabricated to destroy his life.
The knowledge that he would have to split ways with Luke, his devoted K9 partner, was the most agonizing anguish, though, not the verdict.
Michael has accompanied his German Shepherd, Luke, on several perilous expeditions.
From the rear of the courtroom, Luke observed intently as Michael looked helplessly at the floor, feeling that something was seriously amiss.
Michael plucked up the strength to speak up as the judge started to leave.
