Officer accused of killing his police dog.  |

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!

| | He quite obviously knew what he was doing, and to know consciously that his dog was in the car for that long in that kind of heat, and didn't care that is just shameful. He really needs to have the book thrown at him. I am going to pay attention to this story closely. | | | |

| |  What an untolerable a$$.
I felt guilty for getting out of the car, crossing a parking lot to put a letter in the mail box while I was on my way to take my dog to the vets.
I had left the windows down enough to let air flow through but it was an exceptionally hot day.
I hope he losses his badge. Susan

| | You would think they would have suspended him already, but it didnt say anything in the article to that effect. I really agree with you on feeling guilty about leaving my pet in the vehicle for any amount of time. I stopped at a convenience store to get a drink and left my dog for a couple minutes and I felt so bad for him. It was a cool day and he had water in the car and the window rolled down, and still I felt bad! I was in such a hurry to get out of the store to get back to him and this guy leaves his poor dog in his patrol car for 12 hours? It's just appalling. | | | |

| |  Unbeivable!! To think that someone responsible for upholding this very law would do the same thing. I did notice there was no reason why he left the dog in his car...such as he forgot or whatever. What's sad is that he will probably go on being an officer and that will be the end of it. My prayers go out to this poor dog.

| | I noticed that they didn't make a note of that either. I was very upset when I read this. It is absolutely ridiculous that the people who uphold the law do these types of things and get a slap on the wrist for it. It appears that the people who are his superiors are more interested in covering this up than taking care of the issue. | | | |
