Heartbreaking. And as has been pointed out, not at all surprising for here. On the mainland, you kill a police dog? It is treated the same as if you kill a police officer (though no police officer would be left in a blazing hot vehicle with no way to get out).

Nowhere is it more obvious than Hawaii that animals are treated only as tools, not living breathing entities. Witness the abuse, neglect and lack of enforcement.

That poor, poor dog.
