I don't dispute the accuracy of your title, nor do I wish to contest the good work that police dogs do in aid of law enforcement. I am however only expressing
my opinion that human lives are more valuable than animals', therefore I found your title to this thread a bit dramatic as it kinda gave me a heart attack before I read the article. It is only my opinion but I'm sure there will be others who agree with me as with you.
