CEDAR CITY — Cedar City K-9 Officer, Gino, a Belgian Malinois, died Monday night after sustaining injuries from being hit by a car. His handler and partner, Ofc. Jason Thomas, was unavailable for comment. Thomas’s sister, Kim Riddle, said the accident occurred approximately 15 minutes after the two had arrived home after completing a day’s work concluding with a robbery investigation. Gino was playing in the street when he was hit by the car, she said. The dog was rushed to Southern Utah Animal Hospital and treated by Veterinarian Kelly Esplin. “He had a broken back, broken leg and had some chest injuries,” Esplin said of Gino. “With my suggestion, Jason chose to put him down and he was euthanized. It was hard. Jason had tears in his eyes and cried. He was obviously attached to that dog and spent a lot of hours with the dog.” Read More. |
