A different police dog climbed out of his chain link kennel 6 or 8’ tall. In Fresno like a week before this dog... Fresno is just about 25-30 miles from Reedly.
I got a rescue a few months ago...really big boy...maybe 2 years old. Even though fireworks are illegal in the city where I live, idiots shoot them off all day and night anyway.
Not knowing how the my dog would react, I gave him OTC sedatives for dogs. I kept him inside most of the day, and at dusk closed all the windows in the house and kept him with me in the bedroom. When the fireworks got real heavy, even with the sedatives he got very worked up.
Keep your dogs inside when there is fireworks...
It’s amazing — our 20 pound GoldenDoodle isn’t bothered one bit by fireworks or loud noises. He doesn’t panic, get scared or act nervous at all.
Of course, his bark is loud enough to drown out the loudest of any noises. He must read 120 dB.
Sounds like negligent homicide of a police officer by the handlers.
And will the officer responsible for the dog be brought up on any charges? Seems like a rash of officers killing officer k9s lately.
Well, since police dogs are considered human officers, how is the driver who hit him not a murderer?
Cops and dogs don’t mix
They don’t take care of their own dogs and they shoot other people’s pets
Poor Kona. At first, I wondered why a 10 year old dog would still have wanderlust strong enough to break out of his safe environment and lose himself to fate. Then the article reminded me; last Tuesday was our 4th of July.
Some dogs never get used to those sudden blasts, no matter how old they get. I didn’t know police dogs were still even on the job at that age, but apparently so.
Reckless Endangerment causing Injury or Death to a Peace Officer
NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW
May Officer Kona rest in peace.
Fireworks suck. My dog gets so scared when some idiot sets them off. They are such a waste of money and they spread their trash everywhere. I always laugh when some idiot gets burned or otherwise hurt by them.
Good looking dog! RIP, big guy.
