K9 Dingo and K9 Kojack both succumbed to heat exhaustion when the air conditioner in a vehicle failed.
Both canines were at the Baltimore City Detention Center to assist with the movement of inmates from that facility, which is being permanently closed, to other Maryland Division of Correction facilities. They had been placed in the vehicle while their handlers tended to other duties.
