Sky the Police Dog’s Tragic Injury | Johannesburg News

A police dog named Sky, a Belgian Shepherd trained for arson detection, suffered horrific injuries after her leg was crushed in a kennel gate at a South African Police veterinary facility. Now, the Portfolio Committee on Police is launching a criminal probe, alleging that staff ignored repeated warnings about Sky’s anxiety and confinement risks. The incident sparks urgent questions about whether the police can responsibly manage an animal hospital — especially when animals with known vulnerabilities are left unattended. Independent investigations by the NSPCA and the South African Veterinary Council are underway to uncover accountability and ensure future facilities meet all legal and welfare standards.
