Two K-9 Officers Die in Hot Car

Two British police dogs died on June 30, 2009 after being left in a car during a heat wave.

The German shepherds were left in a car in the police headquarters parking lot in Nottingham, England . Temperatures topped 84 degrees. The dogs' handler was on duty and had gone inside the building. Police did not say how long the dogs were left outside in the car.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is investigating the dogs' deaths. The maximum penalty for causing unnecessary distress to an animal is six months' imprisonment or a 20,000 pound ($33,000 U.S.) fine, or both.
