Sad doggie ping.
Idiot.
LORD, have mercy.
CHRIST, have mercy.
LORD, have mercy.
Amen.

Stupid is as stupid does.
Just heartbreaking.
What the HELL was he thinking???
Deserves jail time.
Get a grip, man. Irresponsible, maybe criminally so; maybe career-ending; and the height of cruel negligence for a dog-handler, but attempting to kill yourself? They’re dogs, not people: animals in police service to spare human life. You wasted theirs, indefensibly so - taking your own life though, even for failures resulting in the deaths of people, is still a sin.
In basic training, they used to give proper instruction on how to properly slice your own wrists, this guy sounds overly dramatic.
Too many pints?
Intentional cruelty against animals is a crime. Unintentional injury to animals is not. Worship of animals is paganism.
Truly no excuse for this. Basic Animal commonsense 101: Do NOT leave your pet/animal in a locked car during the day. Period. It’s not worship of animals to know that you are responsible for their care and well-being and to act accordingly. In fact, it’s Biblical. Leaving an animal in a locked car in daylight is an intentional act and it’s hard to believe ANYONE hasn’t gotten the memo that heat kills in a hurry in such conditions and it should never be done! Especially wondering why he was allowed to have these animals in the first place since he’s done this before. Unbelievable.
At long last we see an example of an Officer of the State at least attempting to do the right thng after a monumental screw up. Hopefully those SWAT goons in Arizona will do the same, only successfully.
“In 2004, he was reprimanded for allegedly leaving a spaniel in a baking-hot car on a July day. That dog also died.”
Oy freaking veh.
You’re a dog handler?
Thank goodness you’re not a “child minder” as they say in the UK.
It never seems to fail that stories of people leaving pets and children in cars during the hottest parts of the year are quite common this time of the year. I’ve made too many calls to LE when I’ve seen dogs left in hot vehicles with the windows up, or only down slightly. I’ve made a few regarding a child left in said situation. Heartbreaking are the stories of children and pets who have died because of this. There’s no understanding this.
Horrible cruelity in the worse way!
I have ZERO pity for this guy now that I know he’s done this before and that dog died, too!
