Well, I for one would sure want anyone who killed my dog to go to prison for at least life---LOL!
Actually, I'm not quite that bad, but I sure do love my dog and would be devastated if anyone harmed her.
The dog in question was a trained police dog--they are trained to protect their policemen, as well as to attack and bring down a bad guy. This does make them a bit more valuable in the food chain of life, I think.
You are bleating like a sheep. The state owns the dog, therefore it’s more important than a dog that you own.
That should make your blood boil.
