The Harsh Truth

Matthew heard something that people in the department were talking about as the issue was now really getting hot. People were talking about Matthew’s condition who was struggling with a very difficult situation. His retirement didn’t turn out be as he thought would be. After retirement people travel or do something that they always wanted to do but here Matthew was fighting with the same department where he spent his 30 years of his life. But then he got the chance to fulfill his desire but it was too late as the city has already decided Ajax’s fate.

Paying More

One of Matthew’s friend told him that there is a way for him to get back his partner. He told him that Matthew could buy the dog if he was willing to pay extra. Matthew was ready to pay extra money but he had no idea how much it would be. After talking to the chief again he was stunned to hear the price which was $3,500. But when Matthew was ready to pay such a large sum something unexpected happened.

City Officials

While Matthew was thinking about the new price set on Ajax he stumbled upon a new problem. It seemed like the city wasn’t ready to sell Ajax at all. They had something else on their mind regarding Ajax’s fate. Unable to react on what was happening to him, Matthew has never felt so helpless in his entire life. But it was the love and the bond that kept him going. He was ready for every battle because he can’t see something this terrible happening to his partner Ajax.

Remembering Chief’s Words

Matthew was again in the same spot where he decided never to come back again in this place. It was his love for his partner Ajax that made him break his promise and was more shattered when the police chief told him that he can’t take the money and there was no reason given. “I had the money for the dog and was ready to hand it to the chief of police, and the chief of police said he couldn’t take it,” Matthew told WTAP.

New Plans

The city officials plan was instead of selling Ajax to Matthew they would put the dog up for auction. And whoever would pay the highest the dog would go to that bidder. The news shattered Matthew from the inside and tears rolled down from his eyes. He couldn’t even imagine sending his beloved Ajax to somebody else’s house. The stage was set and actors were ready but Matthew changed the script.

Furious

After hearing the news that Ajax would be put up for auction, Matthew and his wife Sandra were devastated by the news. “That just sounds so wrong to me, to auction off a living, breathing thing, like you would a desk or a chair,” Sandra told Crime Watch Daily. Matthew was left with one option and that was telling the whole world about the cruelty these city officials were doing to Ajax.
