ITTSBURGH (Reuters) Southwestern Pennsylvania residents are rallying in support of a hometown victim of budget cuts -- the local police dog. Officials in Jefferson Hills cut the funding for the canine program that supported Fritz, who rode in a patrol car with a handler and visited schools in campaigns to combat drug abuse.
The canine program cost about $7,000 a year but the handler earned as much as $30,000 extra for having the dog, said Police Chief Jack Maple. The canine program shut down in December.

"The council just did away with the money for the program," Police Chief Jack Maple said Thursday. "It's a done deal."
Council President Chris King said borough officials thought the program was being abused financially and that the council plans to hire a company to investigate the canine program and the hours billed by the handler.
The police chief said the handler was paid more than $110,000 last year.
"He would take the dog to different places and showed them what the dog could do, but he'd come back and bill Jefferson for it," he said. "Council wanted to put the brakes on it."

Hmm cops can go places and do stuff that is 'on the books' without permission? I did not know that.
