http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20622619/?GT1=10357 I am infuriated by this article. The sherriff's spokesman kind of blew his explanation on why the officer did this to his dog. According to th article the officer left his dog in the patrol car for 12 hours in 109 degree temperature. He ran errands, went out to eat with his wife and even took a nap. This is part of what the sheriff said: “I am certain Sgt. Lovejoy has suffered greatly from leaving his police dog in a sweltering car,” Sheriff Joe Arpaio said in a statement. “I do not relish the idea of compounding his sadness. However, Lovejoy must be treated like anyone else in similar circumstances.” I don't think this guy is sorry at all. How in all good conscience can you leave an animal locked in your patrol car all day long, go run errands, eat with your wife, and even take a nap and then the dog dies. There is no way that this man is so stupid that he didn't realize what would happen to that poor dog! And to be so unapologetic! He says “With the sheriff railing on me right now, it’s kind of hard to say anything,” Lovejoy said. Oh, well, God forbid he get on to you for killing a police dog, who is supposed to be your buddy! I am sorry guys but this just sets me off!
