Centreville police dog dies from harsh heat
CENTREVILLE (MCT) — Less than 24 hours after he was admitted to an emergency animal hospital, Centreville police dog Altof, who appeared to be in distress due to the heat, was euthanized.
Centreville Police Chief Steven Brown said it's a somber time around the police department because Altof, a German shepherd, was like a member of the family. An investigation will start Monday to determine what caused the dog's health to suddenly deteriorate so rapidly that it needed emergency medical attention.
