How is the K-9?

August 19th, 2006, 3:49 pm by Sharon

As I watched the footage of Robert Miles, angry, swinging fists, showing the attempts to apprehend —The US 60 freeway incident that started with Mesa Police stopping Miles because of an expired vehicle registration then finding there were warrants out for his arrest.As another officer arrived, Miles took off west on U.S. 60 - along the way - his wife and child in the car - he dropped off his wife; remaining, a 3 year old later reunited with his mom and both doing okay.Miles stopped when he crashed into a freeway barrier. At first holding up the child to "protect" himself; then thankfully obeying commands to put the child back in the car.Nothing was stopping this huge 350 lb. man - he survived bean bag shots, Tasar shock, and a dog attack and bite. I was stunned to see Miles treatment of the K-9, causing me great concern for this service dog, well trained to willingly do his job, putting himself in harm’s way to stop a criminal - one of Miles warrants is child abuse. It was a terrible site and to think also, that this is how Miles may have abused a child or children.I want to learn what condition the K-9 is in. There are many unsung heros - service dogs - dedicated to protect and serve along side their police officer.
