Forgetting your partner in the car? Did this cop have his brain fried or what?
That would be as bad as parents forgetting they had kids in the car. That is sickening, a clear case of animal cruelty.

The thread title is mine-in the story the report states that he "forgot about the dog"..

There have been similar stories involving children in the news.

How, praytell, does one forget a child/dog/cat in a car?

I've forgotten my keys, glasses, and other inanimate objects in various places, but fail to see how one could forget a living being anywhere.

The right click function is diabled. They came in 4th in explosives for the Desert Dog 2007 Police K9 Trials.
Way to treat your partner, jerk! Like someone else at work pointed out. If a citizen kills a police dog, they're charged with killing an officer. This sargeant at least needs to be demoted to regular patrol, if not fired, or at least suspended.

Exerpt:
The sheriff’s investigation showed Bandit was in Lovejoy’s patrol car from about 9 a.m. to shortly after 10 p.m. Aug. 11. During that time, the investigation found, the officer ran errands, napped and ate out with his wife. Lovejoy later found the dog dead in the car.

Thank goodness they fired the idiot. I don't think he should even be allowed a law enforcement career ever again.
