Last week was a total blur. My life became swept up into a monster whirlwind. And it was fun.
The week before, I wrote a story about West Deptford police Cpl. Mike Franks and his K-9, Judge, a German Shepherd dog.
Judge had Cushing’s Disease and, well, he was dying. His liver had gotten so big it was crowding out his stomach and Judge wasn’t eating. His vet and Franks made the decision to euthanize Judge.
There was a huge turnout for Judge. Fifty-some cops, some with their K-9s, came out to pay final tribute to Judge as he walked — yes, at the last minute, he was able to walk under his own steam — into the Swedeboro
Animal Hospital in Woolwich Township.
So I took a bunch of photos and posted five of them with my story on gloucestercountyonline.com.
The story spread like wildfire. Sunday night I got a request from a British newspaper website asking for permission to use my photos.
