    RIP Gage

    So very sad to see the images on TV of him laying in the street.
    Apparently the 23rd policedog to be killed in the line of duty.

    I would have shot the bastard who did that !!

    Very sad indeed and unnecessary, but a reality.

    Unfortunately their role (land sharks) is to prevent and protect. While no handler wants to loss his partner Gage died doing what he was trained to do.

    Very sad

    RIP - Gage

    Yes poor dog - Not a chance in that situation.

    His handler will really feel the loss - it's an incredible bond and trust thet they form on the job.

    I would like to work towards being a Police dog trainer one day - they are pretty exceptional dogs, and so important in the police force.

    RIP little fella

    Just leave the wanker in a cell with the handler for five minutes.

    Save the price of a bullet.

    It was a shame they didn't cover the dog over any sooner.

    I realise he's not human however IMO far more worthy of respect than some humans.

    Not sure why a dead 'service' dog is not shown the same respect as a dead service person. I thought it was a bit rough to see it on the front page of the Herald and then again on the 6pm news.

    If it was a dead policeman there wouldn't be any footage of the body lying in the open.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    RIP Gage

    A working dogs life is not always a long one but it would have been a full one. I hope his killer gets what he deserves!

    Although this event is saddening, bear in mind that this dog lived a better life (and quite possibly died a better death) than many thousands of equally deserving canines.

    Yes, a sad but true fact. There are some very unfortunate dogs out there who have been saddled with complete arseholes for owners.

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    Hell yeah... like the little BB mungrels next to me, mint GVT house, BP, dealing, and in court the other day for braking all 4 legs on their dog (have another one now of course) SPCA and the council are the only people that do something about it, housing NZ dont wana no about it.

    On a cheeryer note... the view on TV of Cage on the deck, who noticed the Cat tip toeing across the road in the back ground? come on it made ya smile, wee puss was proberly thinking it was safe to cross as the doggy was sleeping.

    Shooting a police dog should have the same penalties as shooting a Police officer

    They already do.
    Since front line police only have "stab resistant" vests', there is sod-all chance of them forking out $$$'s on some of these.

    It was pretty disgusting that Gage was left laying in full view for so long. Covering the body would happen pretty damn fast if it was a police officer, so why the delay in showing respect to the dog?

    I agree! if not worse penalties.
    These dogs only ever do their job (and they do it well). Also unlike the officers they never made the choice to join the police they just happened to grow up in the force.

    This was heart warming in the news this morning. Brock introducing himself to the young lad who sent flowers and a card to the Police station, heart-broken over Gage.Click image for larger version.
