DENVER—A dog in training to detect bombs at the Denver airport has been removed from the program after it killed a Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix in its neighborhood.
Denver Police Department canine handler Bradley Rhodes reported he was getting a leash Sunday when his dog ran from his yard in Arvada and attacked and killed the other dog, which a neighbor was walking.
Arvada police issued Rhodes a summons alleging he had a dangerous dog and a dog running at large.
Denver police are investigating whether Rhodes violated the police department’s canine policy.
Denver Police Chief Robert White said in a written statement Tuesday that he regretted the loss of someone’s pet due to the actions of one of the department’s canines.
