Amanda Payne ’05 always wanted to work with canines. After graduating from UCF with a degree in criminal justice<\/a>, she joined the Maitland Police Department to gain experience in law enforcement. But she was always looking forward to someday partnering with a dog like Coli.<\/p>\n

Payne enlisted in the Army because it offered her a quicker path to her calling.\u00a0While stationed at Fort Carson, CO, in 2012, she met Coli. The beautiful, black-and-tan German shepherd had been trained as a Patrol Explosive Detection Dog, and was not necessarily interested in meeting Payne\u2019s acquaintance.<\/p>\n

(Dogs and horses share love and loyalty with UCF students, alumni and faculty. To read about some other enduring relationships, check out the College of Health & Public Affairs’ “A Knight’s Best Friend” stories.)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“I picked him up, it was bumpy at first,\u201d Payne said. \u201cHe would test me when I would walk in his run.\u201d [\u201cTest\u201d in this usage means \u201cbite.\u201d] Military Working Dogs [MWDs] are alpha dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Payne said another handler told her\u00a0“there will be that one dog you will connect with unlike any other dogs you may work with.” For Payne, that dog was Coli.<\/p>\n

Payne and Coli certified as a team in August 2012, and were immediately assigned to work with the U.S. Secret Service at the Republican National Convention in Tampa. \u201cThat week in Florida really helped us bond,\u201d Payne said.<\/p>\n

Shortly after their first assignment together, Payne and Coli were deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. It was Coli\u2019s third deployment and Payne\u2019s first.<\/p>\n

The war claimed the lives of more than 2,300 troops in support of operations in Afghanistan. When Payne returned home a year later, she said, \u201cI was a different person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Payne and Coli reunited after Coli\u2019s retirement. \u201cI felt safe and calm with him,\u201d Payne said. And though Coli wasn\u2019t officially working anymore, he had assumed the role of Payne\u2019s therapy dog. Their joy together was short-lived.<\/p>\n

\u201cColi retired and had been with me for about nine months,\u201d Payne said, when she received orders to go to South Korea. \u201cThis was heartbreaking for me because I could not take Coli.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coli was well cared for by Payne\u2019s father and sister, but it didn\u2019t make the year in South Korea any easier.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat year in Korea about nearly killed me,\u201d Payne said. \u201cMy best friend was not there and I needed him.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After that long year, Payne relocated to Augusta, GA, and after she got settled, her father and sister took Coli up for a joyous reunion. \u201cI felt back to normal,\u201d Payne said.<\/p>\n

Coli and the other MWDs do \u201cwhatever it takes to keep their handlers out of harm\u2019s way and happy,\u201d Payne said. \u201cTo be able to adopt an MWD is the greatest feeling in the world \u2013 finally, they can live like a normal dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the year the partners were separated, Coli had begun to deteriorate physically. He was granted retirement because of lumbrosacral stenosis, a spinal cord disease that causes pain and weakness in the lower back, hind legs and tail. It is a complicated disease to treat.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for Payne and Coli, Fort Gordon has a veterinarian who specializes in the complex treatment of LS, and Coli began to respond to his therapies. His time at the vet\u2019s office was like going to a doggy day care. \u201cHe was spoiled by all who work there,\u201d Payne said. \u201cHe had that personality and sparkle to him. Everyone he came across loved him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not long after being cleared by his vet at a regular checkup, Coli and Payne had settled into a new routine. But one day when Payne got up to start her day, she turned on the light and saw thatColi was gasping for air.<\/p>\n

\u201cI quickly got dressed and started to pick him up to take him to the Augusta Animal Emergency hospital,\u201d Payne said. She began CPR on Coli, but it was too late. \u201cMy whole world was gone in an instant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wanting answers, Payne asked the vet to examine Coli. What she found was that Coli likely had an undetected tumor that had burst.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil his death, I had not realized all the lives Coli had touched, other than mine. He was truly a best friend, partner and protector,\u201d Payne said. \u201cI am grateful for the chance to share Coli\u2019s story to honor and remember everything he did for our country, for me and for everyone who met him.\u201d\\<\/p>\n

Payne is scheduled to deploy in the next few weeks. She recently received a promotion, and is now a kennel master. She will supervise six MWDs. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amanda Payne ’05 always wanted to work with canines.
