I have so many thoughts and hard words to say. This isn’t the place to hit hard or play Monday morning QB. I’m sure your 2 legged partner is devastated and hurts badly. And I really hope LBPD will have protocols and SOP’s so this never happens again. No excuses can be made here, it’s human error and that hurts.
RIP Ozzy, your at piece now and we all thank you so much for protecting us and putting the bad guys away. Thank you so much Ozzy, your missed greatly!!!

K9 Ozzy thank you for your Dedicated Service to your Community and to your Depatment. Any and all deaths are terrible but when it could have been avoided it makes it that much worse remember nothing man made is ever guaranteed to not FAIL . No person or animal deserves to pass this way.I wish that all K9 Officers were made to check on their K9 partners at least every half hour if they are going to be away from their vehicles for any length of time. To many of our 4 legged Officers are dying because of this malfuntion. May God grant your Partner & family and all involved with a speedy healing.

RIP dear Ozzy and thank you for your service. It is such a pity that your life was not seen as important and your department trying to use all the excuses in the book. Your handler neglected you period and should not be called a dog handler.

A Prayer for K9 Ozzy:

Heavenly Father, the Long Beach, California Police Department was fortunate to receive the gift of K9 Ozzy from You. Let us celebrate his accomplishments and remember his years of service as a Certified Law Enforcement Canine. K9 Ozzy died in the Line-of-Duty on Wednesday, August 14, 2019. Now that K9 Ozzy has left this life, please help the members of the Long Beach Police Department; his handler, and; his family cope with his loss with strength and courage. May K9 Ozzy always be remembered as a trusted colleague who completed his missions with true dedication. Lord God, by Your Word, death is not the end; it does not have the final say! For Scripture promises that all flesh shall see the salvation of God! All dogs do go to heaven, because they have a spirit that epitomizes Your unconditional love. After all, DOG spelt backwards is GOD! Well done, good and faithful servant! Amen.

It is a very tragic end to a hero dog. I hope protocols are put in place to prevent this from happening again. No dog should ever be left unattended in a vehicle, not even a police dog. Systems can fail and I am sure the handler feels terrible. Please protect the animals that protect us
