INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Just one day after a man learned his fate for killing an Anderson police dog this past summer, lawmakers are one step closer to helping departments ease the pain and price of the loss.
A bill introduced at the Statehouse will make a person convicted of seriously injuring or killing a police dog pay for a replacement.
They may also be required to pay veterinarian expenses.
The author of the bill, Representative Shelli VanDenburgh, says about nine police dogs have been killed across the state in the past two years.
Replacing those animals can range between $12,000 and $15,000 per dog.
