some typical ones:
============================================================
"K9 Magnum was euthanized after being shot in the face two days earlier while pursuing a bank robbery suspect.
The subject had fled into a bean field during the pursuit, and Magnum was released into the field to find him. He was shot in the face and suffered a critical injury that he could not recover from."
============================================================
"K9 Serge died of heat exhaustion after the patrol car's air conditioner and temperature alarm system failed while parked outside of police headquarters at approximately 12:30 pm. The failure of the temperature alarm prevented the windows from automatically rolling down as the temperature in the patrol car increased."
============================================================
"K9 Morgan died after accidentally ingesting methamphetamine while participating in detection training at a canine training facility.
Morgan began to show signs of distress while completing one of the detection exercises. He was transported to an animal hospital but died as his handler was describing his symptoms to the veterinarian."
============================================================
"K9 Tank was struck and killed by a tractor trailer on I-80 near Salt Lake City.
His handler had stopped on the shoulder of the highway to give Tank a routine break. During the break Tank suddenly ran onto the interstate and was fatally struck."
============================================================
"K9 Nash was shot and killed while participating in an arrest operation at a location near the intersection Old Whitehorse Road and Highway 25 in Berea, South Carolina.
At least one subject opened fire on the SRT team during the operation, fatally wounding K9 Nash."
============================================================
"K9 Trax was accidentally shot and killed by his handler after three pit bulls attacked the dog at a home on Old Henderson Road, in Evansville.
Trax was accompanying his handler and three other deputies as they served a probation warrant on a subject. When they arrived at the home they ordered the man to put the dogs up, but the man refused, and instead opened the door and let the dogs out to attack the deputies. As one of the dogs attacked K9 Trax his handler attempted to shoot it, but accidentally fatally shot Trax."
