Idaho police dog back to work after suspension
SUN VALLEY, Idaho — A police dog in the central Idaho resort town of Sun Valley is back on duty after serving a “suspension” for an unprovoked attack on a small schnauzer.
Sun Valley Police Chief Cameron Daggett says the 5-year-old German shepherd named Dax took a few weeks off the job after the incident. The dog will receive more training to prevent a reoccurrence of what Daggett says was an unfortunate situation.
Dax is a four-year veteran of the force. He is trained to find illegal drugs, missing people, and evidence at crime scenes.
On June 26, authorities say Dax attacked a schnauzer named Max. Max’s owner says the city is paying the $600 veterinarian bill.
