At least they still got the suspect but really wish there had been a different outcome.

Kane was a beautiful boy! How heartbreaking!

I don't think the suspect should be charged with harming a police dog, but charged with killing a police officer/dog. He didn't harm him he killed him.

How very sad.

RIP Kane.

I wonder if a larger dog, a GSD, would have had a better chance either by getting the guy to give up by the size and power, or by having more power.

Of course, I sometimes think I would rather face a GSD than a malinois. This dog was a dutchie and I know they have super high energy and drives, but are generally smaller than GSDs.

I am kind of in two camps in what people should be charged with in these circumstances. Injuring or killing a police officer in the line of duty generally should be a death penalty case. But trying to defend yourself from a police dog, I don't know. If the police officer is right there able to call the dog off, but if the police officer is still on the way, and that dog is biting, no one wants to be bitten by a dog, not even once. I think it is natural to try to prevent that. I think it is not always possible to stop fighting when an animal is biting you. I do not think someone should get the death penalty for killing a police dog.

But should it be more than if someone attacked a civilian dog? Police dogs, their training, their maintenance are often owned by the people. So the perpetrator is generally costing the public a lot of money and damaging public property. Most of these criminals are not out stealing cars if they have tens of thousands of dollars to pay the replacement costs for the dog. And a dog is a living, breathing creature, and should be considered in a category above property, if still below human life.

Killing a police dog while it is on duty and you are committing another crime, should be something like felonious assault. Assault with a deadly weapon. A felony, something you should do time for.

My eyes are your eyes,
to watch and protect you and yours.

My ears are your ears,
to hear and detect evil minds in the dark.

My nose is your nose,
to scent the invader of your domain.

And so you may live,
my life is also yours.
