K-9 Astor -- The Forgotten Arkansas K-9 Helena, Arkansas K-9 from 6/1993 to early 1993-94 before he mysteriously disappeared and another dog was brought in to pose as him.

K-9 Astor-- Photo taken around 6/21/1993

Astor was a K-9 that had a lot of potential that was never realized due to a sadistically abusive handler. To this day I do not know if he is really alive or dead. Officially he is classified as dead, but the dog that died was not the real Astor. These photos are the only known photos of the real Astor. Astor was a light brown sable colored German Shepherd and about 25 inches tall. In late 1993 or early 1994 Astor disappeared.

GRIEVE NOT FOR ME Grieve not for me for it has been ordained, that my journey here be short. Grieve not for me for my loyal presence will ever remain in your heart. I was sent to be a Guardian, for the Guardians of Law in Blue. A fearless, noble protector, with a bond that few can construe. With character unshakable, and senses that are well heightened, I was sent to be a defender, so that your burden here would be lightened. Grieve not for me for in heavenly blue, our reunion day will come. Grieve not for me for as partners again, We will defend a greater Kingdom. ~unknown authors~

A WORKING DOG'S OATH I will lay down my life for you and expect nothing but love in return I protect my partner with my life, and would gladly take a bullet in his place. I am sent in to find lost children and fugitives on the run. I find drugs and weapons and even bombs. I am the first sent in and sometimes the last to leave. I am the nose and ears of my partner. I will protect and serve him. I would die for him and for you. I only ask for compassion and a kind word. ~author unknown~
