LAFAYETTE, TN (WSMV) -
The death of a police K-9 this month in Macon County was likely caused from heat exhaustion, said the local sheriff's department.
The police dog named "Rock" died in his pen July 7, according to a report in the Macon County Times.
The sheriff's department said the dog had food and water but may have not been able to cool off during the heat of the day.
The dog was buried at the Justice Center.
