Trenton, GA – A deputy with the Dade County Sheriff’s Office has been let go after the death of a department K9 named Georgia. According to a release from the sheriff’s office, the bloodhound died in a hot vehicle after the air-conditioning in a patrol car failed; the vehicle’s emergency heat alarm also failed.
The agency’s official statement recounts the known details:
The sheriff’s office said that the officer has been released from the department and charges may be filed. Additionally, safety measures are being implemented to help ensure that this devastating tragedy will not be repeated in the future:
Going forward, any K-9 vehicle we have will be taken out of service if ANY of the essential K-9 equipment isn’t in 100% working order. We are also going to overhaul our K-9 handler policy, and K-9’s WILL NOT be left in vehicles for extended periods of time during summer.
At the direction of Sheriff Cross, K-9 Georgia’s handler is no longer an employee of Dade County Sheriff’s Office, and this entire incident will be turned over to the Dade County District Attorney’s Office to determine if prosecution is warranted in this particular case.
Rest easy sweet Georgia.

This story is heart achingly gutwrenching, the handler should have checked his dog anyway like any normal responsible person would’ve done, because you can’t always rely on the mechanics of a vehicle, because they can and do fail, as in this very sad case. He’s got to be banned for life for being so evil, irresponsible and uncaring. Georgia was a most beautiful K-9 Bloodhound and should have been treated with the utmost respect. I just despair of these kind of ignorant “people.” I’m so pleased he was fired as a deterrent to like-minded imbeciles.
Rest in peace, sweet Georgia💐🌈😭🥀🐾🇬🇧
Once again, I have to remind everyone this is NOT an anomaly, NOT one bad appIe. This is a pattern of behavior within a system where the abusers (who aIso kiII through negIect) are instructed that the dogs are “tooIs.” Neither the departments nor the handIers are heId responsible for inflicting suffering and death on the dogs, which they do routineIy. Far more K-9s are kiIIed by their handIers than by any suspects or enemies. In fact, the handIers are instructed to inflict torture on the dogs, incIuding sIow hanging (strangulation) to unconsciousness.
K-9s suffer and die in hot cars aII the time. The departments and their dog handIers do not have to personaIIy pay a dime for the dogs, so it’s no skin off their teeth.
And it is aiI covered up with orchestrated propaganda and censorship. In the rare instances when a K-9 dies at the hands of a suspect, we often see pubIic funerals for the dogs, with Iots of salutes and crocodile tears. When the dogs are murdered by their handIers, which is much more common, it is swept under the rug.
And, IocaI media invariably assists in the propaganda. I have contacted them and they obviousIy don’t care. There is a symbiotic reIationship they have with the “Iaw enforcement” agencies.
It’s the same in the miIitary; in fact, that is where this barbaric treatment of the dogs originated.
Should he be should, and be banned from working with any animals again
Make the piece of garbage responsible face being put in a hot vehicle until he dies.
This K9 Officer SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE VEHICLE PERIOD!! I don’t care if the air conditioning was left on!! K9 Georgia’s so called partner should have taken her inside the sheriffs office with him!! She is a Police Office also!!
K9 Georgia’s partner murdered her and he should be arrested and Prosecuted!! No Excuse for what he did ~ utter stoopidity on his part!!
I am Soooooooo Sorry Sweet K9 Georgia for the torture and Horrific suffering you went through before you died😢
God Bless You Precious Darling Angel K9 Georgia (“”)💙(“”)
Forever a Hero and Warrior💗💖💗
