Davie police are investigating how a Hialeah police officer's two K-9 dogs died inside his SUV.
The K-9s – Jimmy, 7, a Bloodhound, and Hector, 4, a Belgian Malinois, were assigned to Hialeah Police Officer Nelson Enriquez. He has worked 13 years with the department and was a K-9 officer for the past seven years, his agency said.
The dead animals were discovered at 6:50 p.m. Wednesday in Enriquez's marked SUV in the driveway of his home in west Davie, Davie Police Sgt. Pablo Castaneda said.
Enriquez apparently left the K9s in his SUV Wednesday morning when he returned home after completing his midnight shift, his agency said.
