Residents of small Missouri town angered over hot-car death of police dog

SAVANNAH, Mo. (AP) — Residents of a small western Missouri town are saddened and angered after a police dog died in a hot car. The dog named Horus died June 20 following an overnight shift, Police Chief David Vincent said. In a Facebook posting on Wednesday, Vincent said he can’t discuss the circumstances of the dog’s death while the Missouri State Highway Patrol conducts an investigation. Several residents of the town of 5,000 residents that sits about an hour’s drive north of Kansas City posted that the person responsible for the dog’s death should face criminal charges.
