Post Falls, ID – A police K9 with the Post Falls Police Department died last week from heat exhaustion when the air-conditioning failed at a facility where the dog was being boarded.
According to the police department, Mack, a Belgian Malinois, had been dropped off at the facility for the night and the cooling system failed in the area where he was being held.
The four-year-old dog had been with the department for two years. On August 9, the Post Falls Police K9 Unit Facebook page said that Mack celebrated his fourth birthday by attending a training session with “friends at the Border Patrol and USAF survival school.”
The K9’s death is under investigation by the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office.
Rest in peace Mack.
