In Savannah, Missouri, the community is mourning the loss of a police dog named Horus who tragically died in a hot car on June 20. Police Chief David Vincent shared the heartbreaking news, stating that he was unable to provide details about the incident as the Missouri State Highway Patrol is currently investigating.
Chief Vincent expressed deep sorrow over the loss of Horus, emphasizing the dog’s valuable role in the department and the affection he received from both the police force and the community. He mentioned his own personal connection to Horus, highlighting the trust he had in the K9 and the bond the dog shared with his grandchildren.
The small town, with a population of around 5,000 residents located near Kansas City, has been vocal about their feelings regarding the dog’s untimely death. Many locals took to social media to demand justice, suggesting that the individual responsible for Horus’ passing should face criminal charges to be held accountable for their actions.

The city plans to dedicate and maintain the gravesite as a place of honor to remember Horus and the service he provided to the community.
