There's really nothing special about a working dog. They are readily replaced.

Police dogs and their handlers receive thousands of hours of training. The dogs are most often imported around two years old and usually cost between eight and twelve thousand dollars. The training usually starts around six weeks and never stops until they are retired at about 8 to 10 years. Their abilities based on the training they receive is not easily replaced.

This dog was 6 years old and was already showing signs of inattention. Just nipped an old lady in the butt about 6 weeks ago.

Time for a replacement.
