Colonel Meow is a scotch drinking cat trying to take over the world. He’s hilarious and full of personality. Anne Marie rescued him and noticed how hilarious he was, so she started posting pictures and he became a viral internet success.

I wish to add my respect to K-9 Rocco. He died earlier in the week after being stabbed. This brought the city of Pittsburgh to a standstill.

Memorial Services Will be Soldiers and Sailor’s Hall on Friday

Anyone wishing to make a donation to help the city pay Rocco’s medical bills can make a donation through the Greater Pittsburgh Police Federal Credit Union, 1338 Chartiers Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15220, by mail or by calling 412-922-4800. Checks and money orders can be made out to “Rocco Medical Fund.”

Police dog Rocco’s funeral to be open to public

By Anya Sostek / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

An outpouring of grief and support has spurred the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police to open the funeral for their slain police dog, Rocco, to the public.

The service will be held Friday at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum in Oakland. Doors will open at 10 a.m. and the service is expected to last from about 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Priority seating will be given to law enforcement officers and their families.

Rocco’s handler, Officer Phil Lerza, originally asked that the funeral be closed to the public but changed his mind after numerous calls and emails and an outpouring of support from the public. “The tremendous show of support has deeply touched the Lerza family and the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police,” said police in a press release.

The 8-year-old German shepherd’s body will be cremated, said police spokeswoman Diane Richards.

The K9 officer died Thursday after he was stabbed Tuesday night in Lawrenceville while trying to apprehend fugitive John Lewis Rush.

RIP Rocco.
