A police K9 dog named Sky has died after suffering a severe injury while confined in a kennel, according to TimesLIVE. Officials have been accused of ignoring warnings about the dog's deteriorating condition before its death. The report raises questions about the handling and care of the animal during its confinement.

The South African Police Service (Saps) has launched an investigation after Sky, a retired police dog, was injured at a training facility. According to The Citizen, Sky is no longer an operational K9 and had a history of escaping from the kennels at her previous K9 base. The probe will examine the circumstances surrounding the injury sustained by the dog, described as a beloved member of the K9 unit. Further details about the incident have not been disclosed at this stage.
