MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. - July 9, 2009 Patton was a 5-year-old explosive-detecting golden retriever
assigned to the Mount Holly Police Department about three years
ago. The dog was also on a State Police task force.
Police Chief Steven Martin says the dog died in a vehicle, but
how long he was there and how he died were not clear. It's also not
clear whether it was a police vehicle.
SPCA spokesman Matt Stanton says the police department asked his
agency to look into the death.
Martin said the department is cooperating with the
investigation.
