But I think it is important to note that although pretty much everyone knows that dogs die in hot cars but not many know that this can happen in less than 5 minutes. I certainly didn't know this until this story broke.
This person is human and we all make stupid stupid mistakes sometimes and are just lucky that the very worst doesn't. Sometimes the very worst does happen.
It wouldn't suprise me if this person doesn't ever want to be a dog handler again. |
I certainly wouldn't want to be a police dog handler if I was in his shoes, the more I've thought of the case the sorrier I feel for the man, not of course thinking it's excusable, definitely not, but if the publicity helps get the message through and possible save other dogs from the same fate, well at least some good has come of it, I don't think any good will come of prosecuting the handler, I feel his lesson will have been well learned and he will have to live with it, as a dog lover and owner, I think this would be punishment enough.
