I’ve owned alot of breeds over the years , and I got to say
there is something extra special about Malinois.
Owners know of what I speak . They are....different .
I really pity this poor officer.
The linked article said that his son was in an accident.
That could have been a factor. It doesn’t seem logical to me that he was so negligent if he was the head of the K-9 unit.
Who should lose his job, his pension, and any shred of self respect he had as a trained, supervising, police dog handler!
He left him in the car, at over 100 degrees, for 13 hours for crying out loud!
One hour to digest the fact that sonny totalled the family's 2nd car I could deal with - thirteen?
Pity the dog, he didn't have any choices to make, he didn't have any escape, and, if he had been given a choice, he'd have run to the side of officer dumb-ass.
