I was appalled to read that Assistant Chief Constable Nigel Yeo calling a police dog a piece of equipment.
A dog is an animal, just as Mr Yeo is a human animal - a living being.
If Bruce was a "force resource", then so are all the policemen and women within the police force.
After all, we often hear the police are short of resources.
Will they be put down if they make a mistake?
They had no right to take the life of this dog, which they trained to do a job he didn't volunteer for.
