Sad all around. According to the SO the deputy was on call while watching his daughter's soccer practice and was authorized to be in his patrol vehicle, have his dog along in case he needed to respond to a situation.

My own dog doesn't like small dogs, I do everything I can to keep her away from them-I don't go to dog parks, I don't walk her near small dogs, this would kill me if my dog ever did something like that. She likes one small dog-my older son and d-i-l have a little puggle that she loves and she loves puppies. Small dogs though drive her nuts even if they never see her-if she's them she turns into a completely different creature from her normal loving self.

Sad, sad, sad. Can't imagine what the owner of the little thing is going through. I can only imagine how hard it is for the K9 officer-everyone I've known is a huge animal lover.
