I am disgusted, and saddened, by those two wonderful German Shepherds who suffered & died in the hot car. Here is a ” Trained experianced” dog handler, who lets the dogs die of overheating .
Words fail me. I just hope that this handler looses his job, And he should also serve a 5 year sentance.

Maybe that will give him time to think.

And can I leave this last simple rule. That should be adhered to by all serving forces.
IF THE TEMPRATURE IS OVER 24*……..THE DOGS ARE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE.
back to the kennels in shade.

Or they could spend a little money so the vehicles that carry dogs are air conditioned.

As a trained dog handler this officer has failed in the most serious way, he has failed to take care of the dogs that put their complete trust in him. Anyone who leaves a dog in a car on a hot day, including the police, should be prosecuted, this officer should, at the very least, be fired.
As an animal lover I have had dogs all my life and their welfare always comes first, it makes me sick and very upset to think what those poor dogs went through befor they died.

I hope ALL people who leave their dogs to suffer in hot cars, conservatories or anywhere else get the book thrown at them. Though it probably won’t happen, especially to the police, they will just get their “wrists slapped” and be told “don’t do it again”. It is appalling how little an animals life means, even when it is a highly trained police dog
