A Black People's History of Dogs

Now that I understand that ACAB means All Cops Are Bastards I feel the need to point out that this is phrase actually false. There are countless K-9 units out their who are all very good girls and boys. It is not their fault that their humans are bastards.

Halstead’s Favorite Duo

Anonymous request - Can you do a Jay Halstead x reader, where they are married and she is part of the K-9 unit? Maybe they called her in or something to help chase down a suspect.

My boots hit the ground as fast as I could to keep up with my first best friend for I wish I could say my whole life. Yet I have only known this dog since I joined the K-9 unit that works with the Chicago Police Department. My German shepherd dog ran forward on the heels of the man that was running from us. The man we were after was a drug cartel that they had been hunting for months. “Ryder! Attack.” I commanded him before he launched himself through the glass store window.

The guy we were chasing tried to run to the back of the store but he tripped over a shopping cart giving Ryder the opportunity to tackle him to the ground. Stepping over the broken window glass I draw my gun from my belt pointing it at the guy. “Y/n, Ryder! Are you guys okay?”

“We’re fine, Jay. Ryder ain’t too bad at his job. Ryder, come here.” I smiled seeing my husband coming around the corner lowering his gun when he saw the situation.

Ryder snarled at the guy on the ground keeping his tail still when we were out in the field. Otherwise he would let it actually wag when he was happy. Jay bent down on a knee after putting his gun away, grabbing the guy off the floor and handcuffing him. “You’re under arrest for smuggling drugs across the border. Take him back to the station.” He handed him off to one of the other local officers.

“You did good, boy.” Dropping down on a knee in front of my dog he started moving his tail wagging it since it was just me and Jay alone with him. “So how much paperwork does this leave you with tonight. I can order take out if you want if you’ll be home later.”

He shakes his head walking back to one of the squad cars having me and Ryder following his heels like we did every morning when we all had to leave the apartment. “Hailey said she would take care of it. I actually had something else in mind.”

“Oh really. Care to share what you had in mind?” I smirked knowing that he wouldn’t give it up even if I asked the question but I did it anyway.

Jay sent me a glare. “It didn’t work on our first date and it still won’t work now.” I nudged him and he chuckled before Ryder barked signaling that he wanted into our conversation.

“That means he doesn’t want to be left out of whatever mystery thing you have planned. And you agreed to take me in every way that includes my doggy.” I responded to him.

Jay and I had gotten married a few years ago. I had just been promoted to chief of my unit. Vioet was the man to help me get it after he had seen my history with Ryder and the amount of cases we helped crack down compared to the other k-9 unit members. Jay opened the door letting my dog jump into the backseat shutting the door once he was in. We both got in the car and removed our bullet proof vests and he started the drive looking my way a few times. “Do you remember the day we met?”

“Of course I do. I got injured on an assignment and the doctors at the hospital your brother Will works at wouldn’t let Ryder inside my room. So he started losing it and breaking things. If it wasn’t for you I was sure Ryder would have bit Will’s leg.” I snorted running a hand down my face thinking back on that night.

Jay smiled, shaking his head. “Yeah but he and I have the same goal to protect you…and love you.”

“So where are we going exactly? I mean it’s kind of strange that you are asking about the day we met. We’re already married. What else could we possibly do?” I shifted in my seat bouncing up and down with the tension of waiting.

Jay didn’t stop the car for another few minutes, parking the car outside of a house that was painted a light blue on the outside and it had a gray roof. He let Ryder out of the backseat first before coming over to my side and helping me out. “The surprise is that this place is now ours.”

“Are you serious, Jay!” I gasped covering my mouth with my hands spinning around to face him since he was standing behind me.

He slipped the keys in my hands. “It’s our. I am not lying to you. I got it all set up a few weeks ago. That way we aren’t cramped in an apartment and this gives Ryder a space to run when he wants to.”

“I love you.” I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him slowly.

Ryder barks running towards the front door just as Jay wraps his arms around my waist tugging me closer to deepen the kiss until he breaks it not being able to hold in his chuckle. “I love you too…and Ryder seems to approve.”

please comment thoughts or ideas below ❤️ Comments really appreciated

I felt something nudging my side where I began walking up. I giggled peaking one eye open seeing a familiar dog nose poking me. Maxon was standing on his back legs and his front paws were on the edge of the bed. I blinked my eyes finally clearing my vision to be able to see Will. He was sitting in one of the chairs he had taken from the lobby and was currently sleeping in it. “W-Will. Uh Will!”

“Huh – what Mal. Oh good you’re awake.” He quickly sat up in his chair hearing me call his name where he scooted closer to me.

I shifted upright against the pillows behind my head as best as I could manage. Maxon laid down on the ground but remained close enough to my bedside. “Will – what happened after I blacked out?”

“You’re stitches got torn when you were crawling through the vents to get outside. Nat helped fix them and I didn’t bother to leave your side. So, she’s checking up on te other people that were injured in the hostage situation.” He explained putting his hands in his lap never removing his gaze from me.

I slumped my shoulders looking at my bandaged leg. “I wish I could recall that last mission. To know what caused me to have to wear a brace for probably the rest of my life from the looks of it.” The brace velcro had clearly been fixed and it laid on the end of the bed, not attached to my leg probably until we knew I wouldn’t rip the stitch work again.

“Could you talk to the doctor that put the brace on?” He asked me.

Shaking my head no I doubted he would know anything. “He’s back in Afghanistan. It’s not easy to contact him. Let’s just hope the stitching holds.”

“Hey, I’ve got to check on another patient of mine. But I’ll be back in a little bit. If you need anything just press the red button and I found your phone. There’s a tv remote too. I’ll bring you food- “

I held up my hands in surrender laughing at how ridiculous he sounded. “Will, slow down. I will be fine. If I need anything I will find some way to let you or someone else know what I need. Go do your job.”

“I’m being too much aren’t I?” He asked nervously.

I sent him a weak smile. “Just a little. We survived a shooter so calm down.”

“Sorry, Mal. I’m - I was just really worried about you.” He admits rubbing the back of his neck slowly walking backwards out of the room and down the hallway. “I’ll see you later.”

Unlocking my phone, I scrolled through a few different apps on my phone knowing I could watch tv in a few hours afterwards. Maxon made a noise almost sounding like a snore where I peeked over the edge of the bed. “Hey Raegan, there’s something I need to tell you. But you have to promise that you won’t go over the top and freak out when I tell you.” I warned the familiar tall blonde best friend that I was still close with from high school.

“It depends on what news you have to tell me.” She responded waving hi to me when she turned on it on video call to make it more personal.

I paused before answering her. “It’s something with me and Will.”

“You’re talking about your Dr. Redheaded Neighbor!” She squealed through the phone. “Tell me, tell me, tell me!”

I put a finger up to my mouth shooshing her. “Be quiet. In case you didn’t realize I’m in the ED and not entirely by myself.”

“Just tell me Mal.” She begged me with curious eyes.

Throwing my head back against the pillows I debated on how to start telling her what had happened. I had barely had time to process it properly for myself before telling her. The best way to start was just get it out. “I kissed him – I kissed Will. There was this teen girl that came and her ex-boyfriend who was a teenage too came in with a gun. He – he nearly shot me till Will pushed me and Maxon out of the way. Does a best friend do something like that?”

“Woah slow down. First off did you Freaking Kiss Will Halstead!” Raegan squealed throwing her hands up in the air cheering like she had just gotten her favorite toy.

I glared back at her. “Did you hear the part of my rambling where I almost got shot or was that the only thing you heard!”

“Yes, I heard that. But the important parts are you kissed him, and I can definitely tell you best friends that are dudes definitely don’t put their life in front of a bullet for just anyone.”

I nervously played with a strand of my hair between my fingers. “So, you think that he might have feelings for me?”

“Duh. Hell yes!” Raegan smacked herself on the forehead thinking that was the dumbest thing I had ever said to her in our whole lives.

I rolled my eyes replaying the moment over in my head. I was so concerned for Maxon during that moment that I didn’t care what really happened to me and whether or not I got shot. Next thing I knew my body was thrown into the desk and I didn’t have a clear view until Will had already been shot. “If you were me, what would you do, Raegan? I mean we’ve been friends for years. But I - I don’t want to ruin what we have if he doesn’t feel the same way.”

“I get what you’re saying, Mal. But don’t wait or never tell him otherwise someone else might beat you to the punch.” She warned me.

I explained to her simply. “He made a rule not to date coworkers.”

“Doesn’t mean someone else won’t ask him out. He’s quite a catch, Mallory. You’d be a fool if you didn’t tell him how you feel.” My best friend gave me a hopeful smile.

I nodded nervously chucking. “You aren’t just saying that because you want to be my maid of honor.”

“How dare you say such a thing!” Raegan put a hand over her heart pretending to be offended by my words. “I care about your happiness. Yet I won’t lie and say that I am not hoping you two get married otherwise I might never get to be your maid of honor.”

The curtain began to move causing me to shove my phone still on video call underneath one of my pillows seconds before I saw Will coming into the room walking with a crutch under one arm. “What’s this about a Maid of Honor. Are you getting married, and I haven’t met the guy?”

“Trust me the day I decide to get married you’ll be the first to know.” I smirked at him playfully, eyeing his foot that he hurt. He seemed to be walking fine but I was still concerned. “I meant to ask earlier how’s your foot?”

Will come to sit down in the bedside chair like earlier. “Dr. Rhodes had to remove a small bullet. I got lucky that it didn’t hurt me too bad. It’s just sore and I’m gonna have to manage keeping tons of pressure on it.”

“If that’s the case, why are you still working. You should be back at your place resting like he told you.” I shifted sitting more upright and not putting so much weight on the pillows.

Will clicked his tongue giving me a half smile. “I wasn’t gonna leave you here alone.”

“Oh, I would’ve been okay. I have Maxon.”

He nodded with a reply. “I know. I still wanted to be here with you.”

“He likes you!” Raegan screams through the pillow where I shoved it over my mouth to muffle her voice.

“What was that?”

I lied hoping she wouldn’t try that again. “Uh nothing.”

“Hey so I – um was thinking of this idea, and you can decline if you don’t want to but – would you want to come stay at my place since we both might need some help moving around till, we heal from our injuries.” Will clasped his hands together in his lap, avoiding my gaze and watching Maxon who was still passed out on the floor.

I tilted my head touched by the offer. “Are you asking me to move in with you, Halstead?”

“It wouldn’t have to be a permanent thing – unless you wanted it too. It’s just an offer so you’re not alone.” He said finally looking up at me.

I smiled tucking hair behind my ear. “It won’t be so bad to live with you for a little while.”

“Great! I’ll start seeing if we can’t start the paperwork to let you out of here.” He got to his feet grinning brightly and closing the curtain behind him. I waited until I heard his voice far down the hall before yanking my phone out from under the pillow.

“What do I do now?” I asked my best friend clutching the phone in my hands.

She smirked at me proudly. “Find a way to make him your boyfriend and keep me updated, Mallory.” I finally hit end call and throw my hand over my mouth thinking a mile a minute about what I was about to get myself into.

Apollo (1992-2006) was a German Shepherd search and rescue dog who worked with the New York Police Department’s K-9 unit.

Handled by Officer Peter Davis, Apollo was one of the first search and rescue dogs to arrive at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001.

The team arrived just 15 minutes after the collapse of the towers.

The conditions were incredibly hazardous; the air was thick with smoke, dust, and dangerous chemicals. The debris field was unstable.

At one point, Apollo even fell into a pool of water created by the firefighters’ efforts, but he was unharmed and eager to continue his work.

Apollo and his handler worked 18-hour days during the initial stages of the rescue operation, searching for survivors amid the rubble.

The duo was also tasked with locating the remains of those who had perished in the attack, aiding in the difficult process of identification.

In recognition of his bravery, Apollo received the Dickin Medal in 2002, which is often described as the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross.

Apollo passed away in November 2006, but his legacy lives on as a symbol of the special bond between humans and animals, particularly in times of great need.

The PDSA Dickin Medal was instituted in 1943 in the United Kingdom by Maria Dickin to honour the work of animals in World War II.

It is a bronze medallion, bearing the words "For Gallantry" and "We Also Serve" within a laurel wreath, carried on a ribbon of striped green, dark brown, and pale blue.

It is awarded to animals that have displayed "conspicuous gallantry or devotion to duty while serving or associated with any branch of the Armed Forces or Civil Defence Units."

The award is commonly referred to as "the animals' Victoria Cross."

JADARRIUS ROSE being attacked by Police dog in circleville ohio

A Circleville, Ohio, officer who was seen on video deploying a police K-9 that attacked an unarmed Black man while he was surrendering to authorities is on paid administrative leave as the incident is under investigation, the mayor said.

Jadarrius Rose, 23, was bitten by a Circleville police dog on July 4 following a lengthy vehicle pursuit that began as officers attempted to pull over a commercial semi-truck police say failed to stop for an inspection, according to the highway patrol case report and footage released by the agency.

Mayor Don McIlroy on Monday identified the Circleville officer who deployed the dog as Ryan Speakman. He has been placed on paid administrative leave, the mayor told CNN.

The incident is being investigated by a use of force review board, whose findings are expected to be released next week, the mayor and Police Chief G. Shawn Baer said in a joint statement Friday.

The statement confirmed the Circleville Police Department “was involved in a mutual aid request by the Ohio State Highway Patrol” after the driver of a semi-truck refused to stop and the K-9 unit responded to assist.

The police union representing Speakman said it “patiently awaits the outcome” of Circleville’s investigation before it gives a further statement. Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association Senior Counsel Joseph Hegedus is representing the officer, according to a statement by Tom Austin, the union’s executive director.

Mitchell Christian, a certified police and military K-9 instructor who reviewed dashcam and body camera videos from the incident, said Speakman’s decision to deploy the dog onto a surrendering person was “not indicative to what a canine handler should do in that scenario.”

“The handler should be able to look at that guy and know he’s not a threat. You wouldn’t Tase a guy who was sitting there with his hands up,” Christian, who is the owner and head trainer at Christian K-9 Academy in West Jefferson, Ohio, told CNN.

Police dogs are not trained to kill or have “life-altering effects,” Christian said. They are trained to help officers apprehend a suspect safely and their level of force can be compared to that of a Taser, he added.

“I will say it’s probably not a good example for a K-9 handler’s decision-making skills there because I would say most handlers out there would choose not to deploy the dog on a guy who’s clearly trying to give up, at that point,” Christian continued. “Ultimately, it’s always the handler’s decision whether to deploy the dog or not.”

The vehicle pursuit began after a Motor Carrier Enforcement inspector tried to stop the semi-truck, which was traveling west on US 35 in Jackson County, Ohio, due to a missing mud flap, according to the Highway Patrol case report.

But when the inspector turned on the lights on his marked patrol vehicle, the “suspect vehicle continued west on US 35,” the report says, noting the driver made eye contact with the inspector.

When the driver – identified as Rose – failed to stop, the inspector notified dispatch to send a marked patrol unit to assist, the case report says.

During the police chase, Rose told emergency dispatchers that officers were “trying to kill” him and he did “not feel safe” pulling over the truck, according to recordings of Rose’s 911 calls released by the Ross County Sheriff’s Office.

The video shows authorities pursuing the semi-truck, which appeared to initially slow down and stop. As it does, the footage shows an officer getting out of a vehicle, pointing a weapon toward the truck and ordering the driver to get out. The driver does not exit the vehicle, however, and starts driving again. Multiple law enforcement vehicles are shown joining the chase, the footage shows.

The driver eventually stops the semi-truck and gets out of the vehicle surrounded by several police cars and officers, the video shows, before cutting to what appears to be a state trooper getting out of his vehicle and walking toward the driver.

“Come to me,” an officer is heard saying to the driver. Another adds, “get on the ground or you’re going to get bit.”

The driver is shown on the road with his hands up.

“Do not release the dog with his hands up,” a state trooper warns several times from a distance, though it is unclear if the state trooper could be heard by other officers.

The case report says Speakman “exited his patrol car and began giving commands to the suspect” before he deployed the K-9 on Rose after repeated warnings from the state trooper, according to the video footage.

The dog runs toward officers and then turns to Rose and attacks him, pulling him to the ground, the video shows. Rose is seen and heard screaming and crying out for the officers to pull the dog off of him, the video shows.

He continues to cry out as officers call out for a first aid kit. Rose was later shown being treated by the officers.

Christian, the K-9 instructor, told CNN Rose appeared “clearly confused” before the dog was deployed in the video footage because he was getting “two different commands from two different officers.”

“I don’t think the dog is lacking the training,” Christian said. “I think it was just a bad deployment.”

Rose was treated and released from a hospital before being taken to the Ross County Jail, according to a case report from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, which notes he faced a charge of failure to comply with order or signal by a police officer, a fourth-degree felony.

He was released from custody July 7, the Ross County Prosecutor’s Office told CNN, adding the office is still collecting evidence before it determines whether to move forward with the charge against him.

[dog1teeth]

Okay wait so I'm confused lol. You draw him with different people a lot, so who's he /actually/ with?

im assuming you mean like relationships uuuhm

so technically speaking in "canon" hes with this loser

but sometimes i put him with them

(character belongs to @a-stick04 !)

or these guys

the point is ive drawn him with a lot of guys in my spare time and thats because the media hes from is very open ended on the relationship front

its a dating sim at its base form so the reality is anyone the player is could potentially be his partner

so i just draw him with whoever i like the best at the moment really

I remained laying on the tile floor almost frozen at the sight before my very eyes. I couldn’t entirely believe what had just happened. I was somewhat prepared to get shot by the David kid. And then Maxon jumped in front of me, so I was somewhat prepared for that outcome. Yet the one I couldn’t wrap my head around was the fact that Will had pushed us both away and taken the hit in the end. What did it mean – best friends don’t do something so reckless do they?

“I’m sorry – I – I didn’t mean to shoot him.” David’s nervous voice drew me away from Will who was holding his injured foot. He had managed to scoot his body up against the nearest wall for some support.

I glared at the kid holding Maxon up against my chest. “So you did plan to shoot me. Great plan.”

“Hey watch your tone. I have the gun here.” David snapped at me.

I rolled my shoulders doing my best like I was taught to show I wasn’t afraid of the teenage father with a gun. All he was being was an idiot for shooting people and then demanding the doctors to help his ex girlfriend. “You can make threats at me all you want. But you forget that if you keep injuring more people that just means more work for the doctors and they might turn their attention away from your girl and your baby.”

“I won’t let that happen.” He told me.

I sniped shrugging my shoulders. “I don’t know trigger happy people don’t usually have good outcomes. But you do you man.”

“If you don’t stop talking I will shoot you.” David gripped the gun in his right hand.

Will croaked out in a worried tone, knowing this guy was unpredictable. “Mallory be quiet. You’ll only make him more upset.”

“I’m not afraid of him. Listen here David you shot my best friend and given that information I don’t care if you have that weapon pointed at me or not.” I snapped at him while Maxon growled under his breath with his ears pointing downward showing how fierce he could be and if I let him go, he could likely rip into his skin.

“Ahhh!” Whipping my head around I saw the pregnant girl cry out in pain where she lifted up her shirt seeing the baby shift inside of her stomach.

Natalie rubbed her hands over her belly. “You're completely dilated. We've have to deliver the baby.”

Lily the young girl shook her head no. “No, I don't want to push it out.”

“I know this isn't how you wanted it to happen but we cannot wait any longer.” She explained.

David asked rushing over to her room . “Can't you just do the c-section?”

“It's not safe to do it here. I’m sorry, Lily, but I need you to deliver this baby.” She told the girl.

I crawled forward seeing a handgun from the other officer hiding it underneath my shirt before he could get another firearm in his hands. Maxon got up helping me sneak back into the room. Will had managed to make his way in their so I rushed to his side. “Will, what were you thinking taking a bullet like that!”

“I couldn’t let him shoot you or Maxon.” He dropped his hands at his sides.

Smacking a hand over my face I groaned. “Will! That doesn’t answer my question.”

“Look it doesn’t matter why. You two need to just stay in here and we’ll get him out of here before he hurts more people.”

“Will, I’ve got to get out of here and get help. I saw SWAT outside before the windows were covered. I can help them.” I snapped at him with Maxon standing sternly at my hip.

Will paused trying to think of some way out till he lifted his gaze up seeing an air vent. “You thinking what I’m thinking?”

“Give me a boost, Halstead.” I nodded climbing up onto the bed taking the vent cover off and laying it on the bed.

Will put his palms together underneath my feet hoisting me up inside the dupt. “Be careful you two.” He lifted Maxon up till he could jump up inside and he put the vent cover in my hands.

“You be careful too, Will.”

I heard Will’s voice as he exited the room. “Dr. Manning is gonna need another set of hands to deliver your child.”

“Okay, yeah. Help her, help her, help her, help her, help her.” David demanded him.

Will was at the girls side holding her hand. “You've got this, Lily. Keep breathing.”

“I just couldn't let him take our baby like that, Lily. I could... I couldn't do it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.” David apologized standing in the doorway of her room seeing her start pushing the baby to come out.

‘Yeah, you're doing great, Lily. Just keep looking at me, okay? Breathe. Breathe with me, Lily.” Will reassured her before I lifted up the vent cover and put it back in it’s place so he wouldn’t see we were gone.

I began crawling on my elbows and knees following Maxon’s tail that was in front of my face. We went through four or five different turns before we came upon a vent that showed the outside parking lot lights. “Bust through Maxon.” I instructed him figuring we didn’t have long.

By the time Maxon busted his head into the air vent and it fell o out allowing him to jump down towards the ground. Sliding down the wall I landed on my feet seeing multiple SWAT vehicles had surrounded the building. One of the guys came over to me. “Are you hurt ma’am?”

“Don’t worry about me. We need to stop the kid inside.”

“We’re handing it.” The lead guy spoke.

I raised a hand and Maxon batked harshly up at him. “Give me a rifle and let me take the shot. You will not do anything else but that.” He ran off in that direction before he gave me the weapon.

Looking through the shot hole I could somewhat hear what was happening. “No, listen, all we gotta do is get to the neighborhood, all right? Because I know people who'll help us get out. I promise, it's gonna be okay. All right?”

Lilly coughed barely staying awake after the delivery. “No. It's over, David. It's over.”

“If you change your mind, when you do, call my mom. She'll tell you to get in contact with me and the baby.” David turns around on his feet seeing the boss holding his kid. “Give me my son.”

“I can't do that, David” She said to him.

David aims the gun at the group in the room. “Get back. Get back. Everyone back against the wall now. Miss Goodwin, hand him over.”

She began walking backwards from him. “I said I'd help you, David, and I meant that. But I'm not giving you this baby.”

“I'm not leaving here without my son.” He growled.

She held the baby closer to her. “You don't have a choice.”

“No, you don't have a choice. I will kill everyone in this hospital before I leave my son.” David moves forward and I kept my finger on the trigger.

Will’s boss said stepping out of the way of the shot I needed to take and the kid walked in. “Then you're gonna have to start with me.”

One of the SWAT officers scolded me since I hadn’t taken the shot yet. “If you don’t take the opening. We’ll lose our chance.”

“I know what I’m doing!” I snapped at the guy, not removing my attention through the scope on the automatic rifle.

David stepped towards Will’s boss about to shoot her until I pulled the trigger shooting him in the back of the head. “Give me my son.”

His ex girlfriend cried watching his body collapse to the floor with blood pouring out. “David! No!”

“In case it wasn’t clear. I’m a former army vet.” I lowered the rifle glaring st the guy and the rest of the SWAT team bursts into the building.

The SWAT guy quickly avoided my gaze. “I’m sorry ma’am.”

By the time SWAT had gotten in I busted my way through the crowd of men frantically searching for Will. Maxon ran on my heels until I came in contact with the familiar auburn hair. “Will!” I called his name where he barely got the chance to turn around before I flung my arms around his neck.

“Offf! Mal, Mallory. I’m okay, I’m okay.” He caught my body wrapping his arms around my body hearing me cry into his shirt. “Look, there’s something I need to tell you-“

I cut him off not giving him the chance to finish his sentence after I held his face in my hands crashing my lips up onto mine. I felt him gasp and he slightly kissed back for a minute until I broke the kiss feeling light headed. “I um – shouldn’t have done that – umm Will.”

“Mal – Mal – Mallory!” He called my name quickly picking up my body seeing my leg was bleeding again, meaning we had a serious problem on our hands.
