| Re: Police Dogs
I have always had dogs and you don't leave them in cars when there is any chance of the heat getting to them period.As a dog lover,i have always known that.Clearly there was no air conditioning on/working, or the dogs would be ok but i wouldn't even take that chance.
5/10 minutes is all it takes and this is again a huge message being sent out to all dog owners.Don't do it.Have you ever sat in a car yourself for 10 minutes in full heat ?Of Course you haven't............Try it just once and you will know how much worse it is for any animal. As an experienced dog handler he should have known this and my heart goes out to him, because he has to live with his mistake and i don't doubt he is suffering.
However,if he did leave his dogs, regardless of the reason,he really has to pay the price as i hope everyone would do.He isn't the first and he wont be the last.
Every year people do this and they really need to be held accountable. |
