The South African Police Service mourns the death of Sky, a K9 who was euthanised after suffering serious injuries.
Brig. Athlenda Mathe, national police spokesperson, says Sky's injuries were of such a nature that the decision was made to end her suffering, with her welfare and dignity paramount. Sky is mourned by her handler and the broader K9 police community. According to the police, these dogs serve alongside police officers with loyalty and dedication and assist with community protection and investigations.
The police say there are still serious questions about the circumstances that led to Sky being injured. An internal investigation is underway.
