The sheriff in Monroe County says one of their police dogs died from the heat.
The K9, Kolt, was rushed to the vet last Wednesday, but never recovered and died on Monday. Forecasters say it was about 80 degrees on Wednesday in Monroe County. The sheriff’s office isn’t saying just how hot it was in the car where Kolt was riding, or how the dog was left in the heat. The sheriff’s office says they are investigating, and said one of their deputies has been placed on leave until the investigation is over.
