How Ilox got his name...

10/28/2011

I asked Jessica about Ilox's unusual name, and this is what she told me.

Ilox came with that name from the Czech Republic. That is where he was trained and then he was flown to California to be purchased by K-9 officers. A place in CA buys the dogs and then K-9 handlers come to pick the dogs up. Jessica said it was so fascinating to watch Ilox and her husband work together! Her husband gave all of Ilox's commands in Czech, they were an amazing team.


Ilox is buried in their back yard with a beautiful maple tree over the spot. Ilox meant so much to Dave, her husband, that it's still hard for him to go to work without him everyday.

That is why Jessica decided to have a memorial portrait painted for Dave this Christmas.

He looks amazing, Maggie.

And in case anyone is wondering, his name is pronounced like "E-Lox."
