Justice for Napo, the Perry County, MS police dog who died due to his handler's negligence

Napo, a 3 year-old police dog, was found dead in his handler's car after being left overnight. 

His handler, Deputy Steve Verret, has been reassigned, but has not been terminated or charged with animal cruelty/neglect.

We demand a necropsy of the deceased K9 officer to determine the cause of death. The dog's handler should be dismissed immediately and animal cruelty/neglect charges should be pressed to the fullest extent of the law. 

Though this tragedy happened over three weeks ago, the Sheriff's Department attempted to keep it under wraps. An anonymous tip to local news agencies helped bring the story to light this week.
