      REDONDO BEACH b Basko took a bite out of crime b but it cost him his
life.

      The 5-year-old drug-sniffing German shepherd died Friday after he bit
into a bag of cocaine during an annual certification search in Riverside
County, according to Sgt. Jim Banach with the Redondo Beach Police Department.




      Basko had successfully completed the search and was in his partner's car
for the ride home when he had a seizure. The partner, Officer Ken Greenleaf,
rushed Basko to a nearby animal clinic, where the dog died before he could be
treated, Banach said.

      Basko had been with the Police Department for four years, helping to
apprehend suspects, including one wanted for murder, and assisting in the
recovery of narcotics.

      A memorial service was pending.

      BAD Basko!!!

      I ask you---Does any happiness ever come from REDONDO BEACH?

      Redondo Beach - Patti Smith

      Late afternoon, dreaming hotel
      We just had the quarrel that sent you away.
      I was looking for you, are you gone gone ?
      Called you on the phone, another dimension.
      Well, you never returned, oh you know what I mean.
      I went looking for you, are you gone, gone ?
      Down by the ocean it was so dismal,
      Women all standing with a shock on their faces.
      Sad description, oh I was looking for you.

      Everyone was singing, girl is washed up
      On Redondo Beach and everyone is so sad.
      I was looking for you, are you gone gone ?
      Pretty little girl, everyone cried.
      She was the victim of sweet suicide.
      I went looking for you, are you gone gone ?

      Down by the ocean it was so dismal,
      Women all standing with shock on their faces.
      Sad description, oh I was looking for you.

      Desk clerk told me girl was washed up,
      Was small, an angel with apple blonde hair, now.
      I went looking for you, are you gone gone ?
      Picked up my key, didn't reply.
      Went to my room, started to cry.
      You were small, an angel, are you gone gone ?

      Down by the ocean it was so dismal.
      I was just standing with shock on my face.
      The hearse pulled away, and the girl that had died, it was you.
      You'll never return into my arms 'cause you were gone gone.
      Never return into my arms 'cause you were gone gone.
      Gone gone, gone gone, good-bye.
