Florida K-9 Killed In Action

Per this story on the Jacksonville.com website, a dog used by the sheriff's department has been killed on duty while attempting to chase down a car jacker. According to Florida law the killer could be sentenced to up to five years in prison for the third degree felony of killing a police dog.

 K-9 Fang, a 3-year-old German Shepherd who worked with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office in Florida, was fatally shot Sunday in the line of duty.

Fang, the deceased dog in question, never responded positively or negatively when he was assigned to the K-9 squad. (Jacksonville Sheriff's Office)


It's remarkable that law enforcement agencies have expressed mourn at Fang's death. After all, that's his purpose, to absorb gunfire rather than that of his human counterparts.
