Everything pointed to Michael Carter, a police officer, when he stood in court. He had been falsely convicted of a crime he had not committed, but he was helpless to challenge the system.

Devastated, he made a last request to see his K9, Luke, one more time.

But nobody could possibly predict what would happen next, not even Michael.

Luke began to bark as he got close to his mate. Suddenly, he began to sniff Michael’s jacket. Just then, a small metal object dropped on the ground.

The truth regarding Michael’s case could be found on a recorder.

The judge was intrigued and asked to play the recording. To everyone’s amazement, Michael’s boss, Captain Ray Harding, could be heard speaking.

Harding was referring to fabricating evidence to implicate Michael in bribery and other offenses.

The judge modified his decision after acknowledging it as evidence. At last, Michael felt free—at least he believed he was.

Michael and one of his coworkers, Sarah, made the decision to look for the truth because there was insufficient evidence to file a complaint against Captain Harding.

However, the task was not simple.

A bunch of armed individuals broke into Michael’s residence one evening as the two were going through some documents there and started shooting.

Michael and Sarah retaliated, attempting to flee while preserving the documents that exposed the identities of all those implicated in the corruption Michael was charged with.

When the situation heated up, K9 Luke stepped in. In an attempt to defend his partner, he ran towards the invaders and began barking.

Michael managed to call back up while Luke fought to drive the gunmen away.

Fortunately, police quickly reached the scene and apprehended one of the intruders.

After a comprehensive inquiry, a massive police corruption scandal was found. A number of powerful individuals were engaged, including a prominent politician.

If Luke hadn’t been faithful, Michael would have easily been imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit.

Do you think that this story serves as just another lesson that a man’s closest friend is his go?
