Actually if I remember correctly this particular rottie that you are referring to was suspected to have kennel cough hence why the police dog handler did not want it in his van (quite rightly as then this piece of police equipment would be out of action for several weeks if it caught KC and it is WE the tax payers that fund police dogs).
Therefore they waited until getting it to a vet for a check up.
Whatever your thoughts on individual dogs the facts remain that there are not an infinite number of homes for dogs out there, still fewer for Rotties and fewer still for problem dogs.
In my view better being PTS than being kept alive forever in somewhere like the Dogs Trust eg the equivalent of a prison!
