Brickbat: Dog Gone

Hawaii's Department of the Attorney General says it will not file criminal charges against the police officer whose K-9 partner died after being left in a patrol car outside a police station, citing insufficient evidence of a crime. Officer Sidra Brown was not placed on leave but was reassigned while the police department conducts its own internal review. In response to the incident, the police department says it will add heat sensors to K-9 patrol cars and use special collars that connect to the handlers' phones to monitor the dogs' health and send alerts if something goes wrong.
