A Georgia sheriff demoted one of his deputies after the officer left his dog in a hot patrol car, killing it, according to reports.
Barkley had worked overtime and left the 4-year-old K-9, a Belgian Malinois named Khan, asleep in his patrol car, FOX 5 Atlanta reported. The sheriff’s office demoted Barkley and moved him from field operations to working at the jail following a five-day suspension without pay. He had been Khan’s handler for about a year, and Khan had been with the department since 2018. "He thought he had gotten his dog out and put him in the pin," Freeman said. "Obviously, he did not."More Related News
