Top Police Dog Killed

Unfortunate news, and cruelty from Reuters:


Bonny, one of Kazakhstan's top police anti-drug dogs, was killed in a robbery at her handler's home, a local newspaper said on Thursday.

Bonny was bludgeoned to death with dumbbells and a domestic iron after intruders robbed the apartment in the northern city of Petropavlovsk, the daily Liter reported.

It was unclear whether the burglars knew Bonny, an English cocker spaniel, was ranked among the top three police sniffer dogs in Kazakhstan.


I think the penalties for killing a police dog should be the same as killing a cop. That isn't to diminish the awfulness of the murder of a policeman but rather to elevate the horridness of killing a police dog.
