A beloved Missouri K-9 officer died after reportedly being left in a hot car overnight following the end of his shift in Savannah.
The Savannah Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that K-9 Horus died on Thursday after completing his overnight shift.
“On Thursday, June 20, the Savannah Police Department and the entire community suffered a tremendous loss,” Police Chief David Vincent said in a statement.
K-9 Horus had served as a member of the Savannah Police Department for over three years, according to FOX 4.

“Horus’s death is currently being investigated,” Savannah Chief of Police David Vincent said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Due to this being an open investigation, there will be no further information released until the investigation is completed. The entire department would appreciate your thoughts and prayers, as we deal with the loss of our partner, Horus.”
Andrew County Prosecuting Attorney Monica J. Morrey told Fox News Digital that their office is currently investigating this case.
“The Andrew County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is deeply saddened to learn of K-9 Horus’ passing. We are grateful to him for his service to our community. I have requested a special investigation through the Missouri State Highway Patrol. I will await the results of this investigation prior to making any determination of necessary action,” Morrey said.
The name of the law enforcement officer responsible for K-9 Horus’ death has not been released as it is an ongoing investigation.

It is also not known what consequences the caretaker of K-9 Horus will face or if the death will be ruled intentional or an accident.
FOX 4 reported that the maximum temperature on Thursday was 90 degrees, with the low being 70 degrees outside.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, research indicates that the temperature inside a vehicle can go over 100 degrees in a half-hour, even if it’s only 70 degrees outside.
In May, Republican state Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer’s Bill 754, also referred to as “Max’s Law” passed the Missouri House of Representatives. The bill increases penalties for injuring and killing animals in law enforcement.

“I am happy to see this priority legislation make it across the finish line,” Luetkemeyer said when the bill passed. “This bill protects our diligent K-9 officers and the public they help protect.”
If signed by Governor Parson, Luetkemeyer said he hopes for Max’s Law to go into effect within the next few months.

“These heroic animals put their lives on the line every day to protect the public and their human partners,” Luetkemeyer said in a previous statement. “The law should protect them.”
It is unclear if this law would come into play in the case of K-9 Horus’ death.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The opening of a Canadian-U.S. bridge across the Detroit River that President Donald Trump previously threatened to block has been delayed due to “outstanding issues.”
In a statement released Thursday ahead of a Friday ribbon-cutting ceremony at the bridge, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority says “Canada and the United States have agreed to delay the opening of the bridge, taking the necessary time to resolve any outstanding issues.”
The Gordie Howe International Bridge is jointly owned by Canada and Michigan and was expected to open to traffic later this month.
The bridge’s opening had remained in question for months after Trump, a Republican, in February demanded that Canada turn over at least half the ownership of the bridge to the U.S. federal government and agree to other unspecified demands in one of his many salvos over cross-border trade issues.
Invitations for the bridge’s opening went out this week following a conversation between Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.
“This project is a powerful example of bipartisan and international cooperation, and the governor looks forward to attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony when it happens,” a statement from Whitmer spokesperson Bobby Leddy said.
Every week, the Milwaukee Music Premiere sponsored by Density Studios connects the city’s artists with our listening audience. If you’re an artist with a track you’d like us to debut exclusively on Radio Milwaukee, head over to our Music Submission page to learn how.
Today’s premiere provides a great lesson for bands looking to grab someone’s attention about a new track before they even get a chance to listen. In short, it never hurts to include a line like the one supplied to us by Wisconsin Space Program:
“This song was inspired by Austin Powers cutscenes.”
Brilliant.
Befitting the International Man of Mystery, Wisconsin Space Program provided no further explanation or context, leaving us listeners to make our own connection while enjoying “Time Machine” as it debuts here.
The title of the track jives nicely with a band that jumps around the musical timeline, from sunny to psych to stoner. This particular song leans a little heavier, both in the bold guitar riffs and the major frustration bursting from the lyrics:
I don’t wanna hear any of that noise
That cookie-cutter dopamine
I don’t wanna see your pretty face
I need a break from the fake routine
And I don’t wanna think about anything
I just want my time machine
I don’t wanna stare at a little screen
I just want my time machine
The group’s bassist/vocalist Sean Anderson explained further:
“I feel like, growing up, we were fed the idea that the future would be this utopia where technology would be fun and exciting and improve our lives. Now, we’re living in the future, and it sucks. We were promised hoverboards and jet packs when we were kids, and instead we have AI data centers and the ‘doom scroll.’ I just want my time machine. I want to drift silently through the cosmos and block out the noise — maybe go back and ride a dinosaur.’
The song “Time Machine” is a bit of a time machine in and of itself, in that the track was originally supposed to land on Wisconsin Space Program’s debut album, Sun in Your Hands, last June. But the physical limitations of vinyl forced the group to back-pocket it until right now.
Enjoy the delayed gratification by hitting the “Listen” button at the top of the page, or you can catch “Time Machine” playing on 88Nine throughout today (6:30 and 10:30 am.; 2:30 and 6:30 p.m.). Wisconsin Space Program will also be live and in person at Humboldt Park’s Chill on the Hill on June 23.
