I'm not trying to defend the guy
that cop
must feel like **** too
I'd bet he was close to the dog too
how
could he NOT be ?
he was his or one of his service dogs
they have a special bond & training
put him "Bear" in the truck (probably the place the dog most likes)
to stop the barking at a deer
& forgot he put him in there, until the next day
I assume windows weren't open (?)
forgetting him in a hot truck on a hot night/next day/night, in any case
poor dog Bear, horrid way to die, for a loyal/working service dog especially
I'm sure (I'd like to think) the guy will be reprimanded
& possibly charged
story from back in Sept. allegedly it was 89* (?)
at 10:00pm at night (?)
left in there until 8:00pm the next night
seems warm for that part of the country in Sept. at night
("In Iowa ?, in Sept. ? is it that hot)
anyway it's bad, looks really bad too
if my dog/s are not in my sight, for any extended time 20-30 min.'s
I wonder where the hell he/they are
RIP Bear, you didn't deserve to die like that
