MIAMI COP KILLS HIS BLOODHOUND PARTNER
By Fayner | March 10, 2008
I’m reading about a Miami police officer who intentionally starved his K-9 partner to death.
Dynasty was a beautiful bloodhound trained to find missing people. In a 10-month period, Dynasty went from weighing 66 pounds to 33 pounds.
And although the officer claims his dog died after getting out and eating rat poision, the animal hospital her body was brought to concluded that the dog died from starvation.
This sickens me, as I for one would feed my dogs before myself. Just ask Rhiannon. There were many nights I had no food and no money and after finding a few bucks worth of change in the sofa I’d go and get her food instead of for me.
But read on if you want.
MIAMI (AP) - A Miami police officer surrendered Monday to face animal cruelty and other charges in the death of his K-9 partner, a female bloodhound named Dynasty. Officer Rondal Laroy Brown, 48, will be released on bail, his attorney said.
An investigation showed that Dynasty, who was donated to the Miami Police Department in 2004 and specialized in finding missing people, was in good health in January 2007 and weighed 66 pounds. In November when she died, the 4-year-old dog weighed only 33 pounds, had sunken eyes and missing hair, and had a wound on one paw.
Brown reported the dog had died on Nov. 30 and told a supervisor she had gotten loose and may have eaten some rat poison at a nearby construction site. But a necropsy revealed Dynasty suffered from severe malnutrition and dehydration.
Brown has worked at the Miami Police Department since 1987 mostly with dogs. His attorney, Bill Matthewman, said Brown is innocent and would never hurt a dog.
“The allegations are utter and complete nonsense,” Matthewman said.
The case is the second involving K-9 cruelty allegations in the Miami area recently.
A Miami-Dade County police sergeant, Allen Cockfield, is awaiting trial on charges of animal cruelty and killing a police dog, both felonies. Cockfield has pleaded innocent to kicking to death his assigned German shepherd, Duke.
