DRUG KILLS POLICE DOG
LA CIENEGA, N.M. - A drug-sniffing police dog died after biting into a bag
of methamphetamine.
Max, a 4-year-old German shepherd, was going through a training exercise
Monday when he stuck his head into an unlocked drawer that contained the
drugs at the La Cienega Fire Department.
"Before anybody could react, he put his head in and bit it, and then he
spit it out," Santa Fe County Undersheriff Benjie Montano said.
But the dog either ingested or inhaled too strong a dose and died shortly
after arriving at a veterinarian's office.
