"Excuse me human, I am a 'working breed' dog and I don't need you to tell me how to do my job. I'm fully capable of figuring this out myself."

Back at the yard trials again, we have an Australian Kelpie called Boof.

It was a hot, dry day and the sheep were being particularly cantankerous, but Boof took it all in his stride. With confidence, and a relaxed style, he was able to read the sheep and preempt every move. Slowly and calmly he guided the sheep with far more considered and methodical movements than some of the younger dogs were able to muster.

I feel this photo captures some of that easy-going and confident nature; no fear, no aggression, just getting the job done.

A photo of a black and tan Australian Kelpie called Boof. He is standing nonchalantly on the backs of a group of sheep gathered in a run. The dog has his mouth open and his tongue out, in a relaxed and happy smile. He is looking off to the left of shot towards his owner who is standing out of frame. Presumably the dog is awaiting his next instruction.

The photo captures the dog's relaxed but confident attitude. He is clearly comfortable around the sheep and revelling in his current task. While it is hard to tell from the photograph, on the day it was also apparent how his sureness and experience was able to put the sheep at ease. While some of the younger dogs resorted to barking and chasing, Boof relied far less on force to corral the flock.

“I want his story to live on,” Mirarchi said. “So that’s how I pay it forward for him: to just keep telling his story. And if I keep doing that, then he’s always still here.”

The next day, #Hurricane visited the White House for the final time. Hurricane’s former #SecretService colleagues presented him with a plaque with his name on it & an American flag. Mirarchi declined to say whether Hurricane was euthanized, but after the White House visit, Mirarchi said he & about a dozen of his former colleagues gathered around Hurricane as he died.

But Mirarchi could tell this month that Hurricane’s days were short-lived. On Feb 11, #Hurricane flew on an American flag-themed Southwest Airlines plane from Colorado to Baltimore, where #SecretService members who worked with Hurricane greeted him outside his gate. Mirarchi rolled Hurricane in a wagon because he struggled to walk.

#Hurricane & Mirarchi received the Secretary’s Award for #Valor by the DHS, an honor that recognizes acts of #heroism, in Nov 2015.

In Sept 2016, Hurricane retired due to his health. While Hurricane loved playing with Kong toys, Mirarchi said he still trained Hurricane, who was accustomed to practicing.

In Dec 2016, the Animal Medical Center in NYC named Hurricane one of its annual top dogs, covering his postretirement medical bills, Mirarchi said.

The suspect, 23-year-old Dominic Adesanya, was taken to a hospital with injuries from a dog bite. #Hurricane’s body was covered in bruises, bumps & blood, Mirarchi said, & he was taken to a veterinarian. Mirarchi said he worried Hurricane would die of his injuries.

The next day, the #SecretService posted photos of Hurricane & Jordan on social media & said a veterinarian cleared them to work. But Hurricane was never as nimble again, Mirarchi said.

On Oct 22, 2014, #Hurricane was 6 yrs old when he spotted a man jumping the White House fence. The intruder fought off another #SecretService canine, Jordan, when he was about halfway across the North Lawn. But then Hurricane, who weighed more than 60 pounds, charged in for a brawl that lasted a few seconds before Hurricane knocked the man to the ground.

#Hurricane, who had a black coat & brown eyes, joined the #SecretService’s K-9 unit in November 2012 & was paired with Mirarchi. Hurricane underwent more than 4 months of training at the Rowley Training Center in Laurel, MD, learning to bite hard, jump high & react quickly to security threats. When Hurricane was promoted to guarding the White House, he jumped & spun in excitement from the back seat each time Mirarchi drove onto the property.

#Hurricane, who retired in 2016, won national & international awards for stopping the intruder.

“He could work & be the hardest, most ferocious, fearless dog,” said Mirarchi, 41. “And then two minutes later, he could be sitting in your lap, just wanting to get pet.”

Now, Mirarchi is celebrating #Hurricane’s life. The 15-year-old died in Alexandria, Virginia, on Feb. 12, Mirarchi said.

Since the October 2014 incident at the White House, Mirarchi said he has tried to repay Hurricane for his loyalty, giving him lots of bacon-flavored treats & creating a nonprofit organization in his name to raise money for retired #law enforcement & #military dogs’ veterinary care.
