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.

Sky, a police K9, has died while in the care of the South African Police Service. According to The Citizen, the dog was found seriously injured in her kennel at the SAPS veterinary facility at Rondeplaat on Monday morning after apparently attempting to escape from the enclosure.

A police arson-detection dog was seriously injured after attempting to escape a police facility where it had been confined for six months in unsuitable conditions, TimesLIVE reports. The dog reportedly suffered from severe kennel anxiety due to the prolonged confinement. The incident has raised concerns about the treatment and welfare of working police animals kept in such facilities.

The Citizen reports concern about the treatment of police dogs, citing the case of one dog described by Cameron. According to Cameron, the dog suffered from severe anxiety and had previously injured herself after escaping from a kennel. The available information does not give the dog’s role, location, breed, handler or any official response, but it frames the report as an animal-welfare concern involving police dogs rather than a confirmed finding of misconduct.
