July 1, 2002 - April 7, 2012

 

My husband, SFPD Officer Mark Trierweiler, brought “Pitt” home in August of 2005. Frankly, I was frightened by him. I had never had a dog while growing up, and Pitt was a big boy!

Pitt was wary of us at first, but soon became a part of our family. At home, he was the most loyal pet I could have ever imagined. How lucky for Mark to have had such a great K9 partner. Among the SFO handlers, Pitt was acknowledged as one of the better dogs. Mark often quipped that the trouble was at his end of the leash, not on Pitt’s end. We will always remember the big, scary-looking German Shepherd, rolling around our living room on his back like a big teddy bear…

Pitt died suddenly from cancer of the liver, stoically showing no signs whatsoever until the last day of his life.

Rest in peace, buddy.
