I was very angry when I read about Bruce. Police dogs are highly-trained working dogs which, when in the home environment, are one of the family.
Surely dog handlers will be very afraid when sending their dogs to apprehend criminals that their dog might make a mistake and be put down.
Surely some other solution could have been found?
Please convey my sympathy to PC Tattum and his family.
