"We were in the middle of the training exercise and I went to get him for his part in one of the exercises and he was laying there. I tried to bring him back," said Fronrath, "but he had already died." Approximately 100 police and sheriff's deputies from St. Lucie County to Collier County formed a cortege along Military Trail leading to Roger Dean Stadium and the memorial service. The contingent included several of Karly's own — other K-9 officers and their handlers — several of whom were part of the ceremony. Among them were Jupiter Police K-9 trainer, Officer Vincent Curcio, who with his dog Nick are, for the moment, the only K-9 unit in Jupiter. Curcio said that on the night they were training, Karly went through the exercises flawlessly. "If we had been certifying him that night, Karly would have had a perfect score," the K-9 trainer said."The brotherhood of K-9 officers is something special," said Jupiter Police Chaplain Robert Volpe. "The line of duty just isn't for men and women, but it also affects these four-legged partners. "Many of these dogs have been wounded in the line of duty and they still crawl to try to help their partners. There is no doubt that Karly would have given his life for Scott, and Scott said that all Karly asked for in return is a gentle hand, clean food, a place to sleep and a place in the heart of his handler." Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office's Lt. Robert Anderson noted that in training, the handlers learn from the dogs. "The dogs teach patience, courage, unselfishness, but most importantly, loyalty," he said. "Karly would like Scott to go on and have a new dog to teach him. Jupiter Lt. Michael Goad said that Karly will always be remembered by the Jupiter Police officers and Mayor Karen Golonka read a poem, "Grieve Not for Me."Robert O'Neill, the department's interim chief, said that Fronrath wants to continue in the K-9 corps. "Part of the healing process is going back in as soon as possible," Fronrath said after the ceremony. Curcio said that dogs from Germany would be brought to Jupiter for evaluation in order to have Fronrath select one as his new partner. Once the dog is selected, Fronrath and his new partner would begin the mandatory 400 hours of training. "An important part of the evaluation is to see which dog not only is outstanding as a police dog but one that can adapt to Scott's family as well," Curcio said.   Jupiter's finest said goodbye to one of its own this week in an hour-long ceremony complete with the crisp marching of the color guard, a bagpiper playing Amazing Grace, a 21-gun salute and the mournful sound of Taps.
