Cooper

K9 Cooper succumbed to heat exhaustion after being left in an unmarked police car.

The vehicle was left running, and K9 Cooper's handler believed the air conditioner was on. Because it was an unmarked patrol vehicle, it was not equipped with a temperature monitor.

K9 Cooper had served with the Muskingum County Sheriff's Department for over three years, assigned to the drug unit.
