Dogsey

How dreadful, I am hoping that public opinion forces a change of heart, that dog has spent his life risking his life for them, and thats the appreciation he gets. Disgusting

An update and a good one. Looks like Nero has been saved.

Thank goodness someone somewhere has got some sanity. Awful shame about the handler losing his other dog, how do they justify that decision, totally nuts the lot of them. Why not let the handler have another police dog instead

The article speaks of budget deficits. It costs a ton to train a new dog, so they couldn't justify paying so much for surgery and also needing another dog. It just sounds to me like a department already facing large deficits was just goaded and guilted by a cheesy online news site into spending the money.

I'm glad the dog gets a second chance, but I can't help but wonder if things like this caused the budget issues to begin with. I really don't like underfunded police departments. Crime goes through the roof when it happens here, and the bigger picture sometimes needs to be looked at.

Kind of like the US where after several years they finally got the idea of fixing up retired dogs of war with disabled vets...duh oh
