Police Dog Killed In Cop Car!!!  

Everone who commits a crime or neglects an animal or person it is responsible for should be able to be prosecuted or stand trial; being a cop shouldn't make any difference. You might even turn the story around and say that he, being a cop, should know about what's legal and what's not.

I don't think he did this on purpose, no one ever does, but these things happen more often and you would think that one would start and wonder about this and if it's such a good idea and not take children or dogs along in cars unless you really have to and never leave them alone and/or out of sight.

Very sad story.. poor dog .

Where did you get this information? Do you have a link to an article online or something?

Even though it may have been a mistake, he still needs to take responsibility, and face the charges. Even though he is a police officer, it does not mean that he is exempt from the law himself. I am sad to hear that the dog died because of the heat. People who own or handle dogs should know that dogs are never to be left in the car, no matter what the temperature is outside.

Since he was responsible for the dog, he should be prosecuted for it. He should have left the window open just a bit. The dog is not going to use his teeth to open the knob is he? And since he is a cop, he should be more responsible then anyone else, since he is supposed to have training in taking care of an animal. I would say a fine, a demotion, and unpaid leave would be a good idea.

That's sad. He should be charged like anyone else would regardless if he is a cop or not. I know it's an accident but still, he's a dog handler and that dog was his responsibility.

Although the handler may not have done it on purpose,it is still very sad that the poor dog had a stroke and died because of the heat,and I do not care that the owner is a cop,he should know better than anyone that neglecting an animal is a crime,and he should go to trial for it,and maybe even lose his badge,because cops are supposed to pay attention to every detail,which includes whether or not their dog is in a car with the windows rolled up on a 108 degree day.

I think that is awful. That is cruelty to animals, it is abuse and neglect. The cop should be tried, it is common sense. You don't lock kids, dogs or senior citizens in your car on even a warm day much less a day where the temp is over 100. They should lock him in a car in heat like that and see how he feels.

I hear he might be charged with animal cruelty. But, get this, he is still working with dogs on the K-9 division from what I've heard. I don't know if he takes a dog home anymore, but he's still working with their dogs. I don't know what people who do that are thinking. I work in a library, as you know, and people will go into the library for hours and leave their dogs in their cars with a little crack in the window and the car in the sun. We threaten to call the police on them about that matter. I mean, if you can't take your dog where you are going, then leave him/her at home.

But, I have no clue as to why the guy didn't take the dog into his home with him. I know they often leave their dogs in the cars while they conduct business. But, they can often roll the windows all the way down as there is a cage to keep the dog from jumping out when they're not around.

This ios really sad. it reminds me of when I worked at Dunkin Dounuts there was a police man that came there to get 3 dounuts for his police dog. The kind that had no frosting on them. I think if anything he will lose his job. Maybe be prosecuted. he was proberly in a really big hurry and without thinking left the poor dog in the car with the windows shut. That is really sad.

rozie being a cop makes this that much worse. he of all people
'should have known the heat would kill his dog. he is guilty as
all sin and should be prosecuted the same way as any
other person not a cop. this is outrageous and unbelieveable
as the police should be trained on dogs left in cars and the terrible heat that kills them.. negligence in this instance is criminal.
