Police Dog


This just makes me sad, both as an animal lover, and as someone who studies and works with police officers:

A suburban police officer is accused of leaving a police dog in a patrol car for more than 12 hours on a 109-degree day, killing the animal.

The sheriff’s investigation showed Bandit was in Lovejoy’s patrol car from about 9 a.m. to shortly after 10 p.m. Aug. 11. During that time, the investigation found, the officer ran errands, napped and ate out with his wife. Lovejoy later found the dog dead in the car.

It's really kind of disgusting, it's just like the article about the child I posted a while ago!
Note: The dog pictured is not the actual dog 'Bandit'
