re: Off-duty Deputy's K9 escapes, kills another dog

I am going to lay odds here that he was driving his police cruiser and had the dog in the back. Those cars have a system that auto starts the car and runs the AC when it hits a certain temp inside. They also have spring loaded back doors with a key fob button that makes the door open when it is pressed. The idea is that the officer can hit the button and release the dog if he is attacked.

They literally train the dogs to come out fighting if that door pops open so that would explain alot if the "victim" was nearby and the button got pushed accidentally while in his pocket.

Or...

He was just stupid and had the dog in the back of his personal car with the window down.

Either way, ooopppsss...
