This is inexcusable and I hope he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Those poor dogs! RIP Jimmy and Hector.

DAVIE, Fla. -

An investigation is underway after two police dogs were found dead inside an unmarked SUV parked outside a Hialeah police officer's home.

Hialeah police say K-9 Officer Nelson Enriquez arrived at his home in Davie early Wednesday after completing his midnight shift and apparently left the dogs inside his vehicle. Investigators say the officer found the dogs around 7 p.m.

Davie police Sgt. Pablo Castaneda says his agency responded to a call from the home and found the two dogs.

3. Jimmy at 5 months old, 2009

He was brought on to the force to help track criminals and find missing children. This is heartbreaking. He was donated to the force by the Jimmy Ryce Foundation.

4. I'm almost certain this isn't the first time this has occurred (involving police dogs).

You would think someone in this position of responsibility and authority wouldn't fuck up like this, but there it is.

Okay, just looked it up - there were THREE of these tragic incidents just last year!

5. Charge the officer with murdering two police officers

That's the heavy charge you'd get if you killed a cop dog.
