In America, the police do not regard a police dog as a piece of equipment to be tossed away like an old rag.
Our police dogs have the rank of police officer and wear the badge of an officer.
If the dog is attacked by a felon, it is a punishable offence and when a police dog is killed in the line of duty, he is given a funeral with full honours.
I object to the Sussex Police statement about the faulty tyres on a car. You don't get rid of the car, you send it to a specialist to repair it.
