Burlington County K-9 cop and her husband charged in dog's death

A Burlington County K-9 officer and her husband were charged with animal cruelty yesterday in the heat-related death of a beloved, bomb-sniffing dog in July.

Mount Holly Police Officer Kara McIntosh left Patton, a 5-year-old golden retriever, in her personal vehicle on July 7 with the air conditioner running, believing that her husband, Robert, would later pick up the car and the dog, New Jersey SPCA spokesman Matt Stanton said.

Kara McIntosh parked the car in a lot across the street from the Mount Holly police headquarters, but her husband never came, Stanton said, adding that Patton, who lived with the officer, died of heat stroke after about two hours in the car.

Yesterday, the couple were charged civilly and criminally with four counts each of animal cruelty, Stanton said. The criminal charges could carry up to a year in jail or community service.

Stanton said that Officer McIntosh trained extensively with Patton, and should have known better.

"I don't think there was any bad intent here. The bottom line is people don't understand that leaving your dog in a car is a crime," he said. "It's 75 degrees out today. In a car with the windows up, it could get to over 100 degrees in just 45 minutes."

Stanton said he didn't know McIntosh's status with the Mount Holly Police Department, and neither her attorney or Police Chief Steve Martin returned phone calls for comment.

Officers from Mount Holly found Patton on May 8, 2006, at the Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue's Golden Gateway, in Lancaster County, according to the organization's Web site.

Patton, working with McIntosh, learned to develop more than 20 scents and specialized in rooting out shell
casings, which won him a spot on a statewide task force under the U.S Department of Homeland Security.
