ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH, Fla. – The outcome could have been devastating for a St. Augustine Beach Police K-9 and his handler. But, luckily crisis was averted — thanks to a 7-year-old girl making sure police dogs are safe in the line of duty.

Last month, K-9 Kilo and his handler Cpl. Bruce Cline where on duty at VyStar in St. Augustine Beach. Kilo was taking a rest inside their police vehicle in the parking lot of the bank as Bruce worked his security detail inside.

“I was giving (Kilo) a break inside the vehicle, where he gets to kind of unwind and relax. I have a sensor that gives me feedback to my phone,” Bruce explained to News4Jax anchor Joy Purdy. “I monitor that temperature whenever (Kilo’s) in the vehicle. I can see that that temperature was going up.”
