No excuse. I was a K-9 officer for 3 years, my dogs were my partners, my friends and part of my family. They are not like pets. I know that there are people out there that are closer to their pets than their own children, but with a K-9 partner the relationship is even closer than that. I have never known a K-9 handler that didn't feel the same way.

I am completely beside myself, I do not understand how this could happen, I would put it in the same category as a cop falling asleep and letting his partner get shot.

I take offense to that. You cannot judge the closeness of the relationships between my animals amd me. You have no way of knowing the relationships we shared or the depths of our love and loyalty.
