Not again! I agree, Yogie, How Can You "Forget" your partner...shameful.

The officer was 'emotionally devastated'? Who cares? He should be charged as any normal citizen would be under the same circumstances.

I think the penalty should be stronger for a police office being killed not just a regular pet...

How the heck can you "just forget"? Emotionally devastated my rear, he deserves a stiffer penalty for not only the dog being a K9, but the offending party an officer. "Just forgot", as my Dad used to say, is a sorry excuse.

It is the crime of distraction. It happens with people and their babies,too. Texting and driving accidents are horrific. There is a limit to "our" attention. A police officer is still a human being like all the other people who were distracted and responsible for a death, not extra responsible, just as responsible. Should the victim, a K9 officer be treated equal to a baby who suffered the same tragic fate? It wasn't deliberate, just negligent. I think the police officer responsible will be suffering enough, no need or benefit by adding to it.

I would say the same thing if it were a baby. "Just forgot" is a lame excuse, period.
If there is anything I've been taught, it's the dog comes first. The dog gets taken care of before any of your own needs. That's just the way it is and the way I've been taught.

At the very least that officer should be suspended from futher K9 work. The dog's not a piece of equipment you can just replace if it gets broken, and "forgetting" *between shifts* means the officer really didn't care about the dog at all (seriously, otherwise he could have called someone to go look after the dog for him).

I was wondering if police officers get paid for the time spent training and working with the dog?
Does anybody know?
