Bullet served as a cross
trained police service dog/narcotic detection dog for the Milpitas PD for
nearly 7 years. Bullet's career and life were cut short due to
an unknown neurological condition that affected his spine and hind legs.
Bullet's health deteriorated and on October 14, 2005, I made the decision
to have Bullet put sleep at Parktown Veterinary Clinic in Milpitas.
While it was a tough decision to make, it was done because I could no
longer watch my best friend suffer.
Bullet and I competed in
35 WSPCA K9 trials from 2001-2004. During that time we won numerous
trophies. We were known throughout the WSPCA as "Team
Bullet." "Team Bullet" consisted of me, Bullet, and
my parents, Isaac and Angie. My parents were as well known as
Bullet throughout the WSPCA as they attended almost every trial we competed in
and they won quite a few trial raffle prizes.
Bullet's WSPCA
accomplishments include:
2003: Idaho Police
Canine Association Overall Champion @ Idaho K9 Trial

In addition to
competing in the WSPCA, we competed in 4 California Police
and Fire
Games Canine competitions from 2001-2004. Bullet and I
won numerous medals and
in 2004 we won two gold medals (Overall & Search) and a
silver medal (Protection)
at the CPFG in Stockton, CA.
The MPD K9 team
helped Team Bullet train for the streets and the competition
fields.
Without their help and support, Team Bullet could not have
been as successful as they
were. The Torrez Family also helped with Bullet's training
by rebuilding and funding the
MPD K9 obstacle course so Bullet could practice and by hiding
occasionally for an area search.
I will miss Bullet
greatly and he will never be forgotten.
