Not only that but I think the going rate for a bare-bones (no pun intended) police dog with minimal training is on the order of $10,000. Over the lifetime of a police dog, the costs associated with its care, training and the training of its handler is on the order of $100,000. This particular dog sounds like it was very experienced....

A Tohono O'odham Police Department (TOPD) canine handler did the exact same thing to a police dog named Yari several years ago. Another TOPD canine handler "lost" his dog last year when it mysteriously escaped from his backyard. I never learned whether or not the dog was ever found....

Now in Arizona, if this was you or me, it would be clear if the A/C was on or not, and we would be rotting in jail over negligent death of an animal. Bt if you are cop you get the ashes and sympathy.
