Police K9 Hero Ciro Killed In Freak Accident

The death of a Police K9 is always felt keenly by the handler, department and community. These furry heroes dedicate their lives to serve and protect.

In a horrible tragedy, one such K9 was killed while his human was testifying in court. Unfortunately, because of his role as a bite dog, Ciro had to remain in the vehicle:

“However social Ciro was, he was a bite dog. He was a full patrol dog and he was trained to protect me. I can’t take Ciro into those places without a need,”

Deputy Gary

Deputy Gary's Police car was equipped with sophisticated electrical equipment to monitor the vehicles temperature, operations and voltage. An electrical short after Gary left the vehicle sparked a fire in the dashboard

Deputy Gary was only gone for 15 minutes and rushed to rescue his dog from the vehicle, burning himself in the process.

Unfortunately, K9 hero Ciro succumbed to smoke inhalation and passed away.

  1. Need to come up with a door system that can pop open to let the dog get out when fire or smoke is detected.

  2. If I leave my dog in the car, I can get a fine.. It should be the same with cops. It's the cops fault that the K9 is dead. They should hold him responsible for leaving him in the car.

    1. Why not place the K9 officer in a small secured room for the time needed to testify. We cannot leave a child in an auto but leave a K9, is OK? Pure stupid. If the testify time is known then leave the animal home or department facilities. Naw,,,,,,to much trouble.

  3. This "burns"me!!! They're always telling the public not to leave animals in a vehicle because it only takes 6 minutes for one to die from heat. Yet a POLICE OFFICER DOES IT????? obviously 15 minutes was too long!!!!

  4. Unfortunately sometimes bad things happen. Everyone involved feels terrible. My prayers go out to you guys.

  5. don't leave them in the car just take them with you when they are on duty they should be with you,
