Q: Veteran K-9 officer Daniel Peabody has been accused of killing three of his dogs, two of which were K-9 police dogs. (CBS46) 
  
 Daniel Peabody loved his dogs. 
  
 At least, that’s the way it looked to students whenever Peabody, a hulking and heavily tattooed school cop, strode into northern Georgia classrooms with a K-9 at his side. 
  
 The lieutenant loved his animal partners so much that when one dog retired, Peabody promptly adopted him. 
  
 But Peabody wasn’t the dog savior he portrayed himself to be, authorities say. 
  
 Instead, the veteran K-9 officer now stands accused of leaving one police dog in a roasting car to die and executing another.

 On Tuesday, investigators announced that the remains of a third dog — unearthed in Peabody’s back yard — indicated the animal also had been shot, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. 
  
 The alleged case of animal cruelty is all the more bizarre because of the special protections police departments bestow on the expensive and highly trained animals.

 In Georgia, for instance, it is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison to intentionally kill a K9 — a penalty stiffened just last year after a police dog was killed in the line of duty. 
  
 Few in Cherokee County could have imagined that the biggest threat to a beloved police dog was the man holding its leash.

 The strange story dates to at least 2012, but only came to light last month. 
  
 On June 10, Peabody and his pawed partner, Inca, a four-year-old Belgian Malinois, came home from work about 4:15 p.m. 
  
 Peabody, a 16-year police veteran who had worked with K-9s for five years, rushed inside to deal with another dog, Cherokee County Marshal’s Office Maj. Jamie Gianfala told the Marietta Daily Journal. 
  
 Nearly three hours later, Peabody suddenly remembered he had left Inca in his squad car. When Peabody went outside to check on the dog, she was dead, Gianfala said. 
  
 Gianfala also said Peabody’s 2001 Ford Crown Victoria was not equipped for police dogs. 
  
 “There’s no kennel, there’s no alarms,” he added. “It’s basically just a Crown Vic police car.”

 The temperature that afternoon was in the 90s, “and that was outside, so I’m sure the temperature in that police car was much higher,” added Chief Marshal Ron Hunton. 
  
 Hunton told the Daily Journal that Peabody was visibly distraught over the dog’s death, hyperventilating so badly that he had to be taken to a hospital and passed out at one point. 
  
 “He is very, very upset about the death of his dog,” Hunton said. 
  
 A few days later, Peabody abruptly resigned, according to the Journal-Constitution. 
  
 When authorities investigated Inca’s death, however, they quickly stumbled upon other suspicious incidents involving the K-9 officer and his partners. 
  
 When they asked Peabody about Dale, a yellow lab he adopted in 2012 after five years of working alongside the animal, Peabody initially said the retired dog died in a freak accident.

 “Peabody initially claimed Dale’s death was accidental due to Dale choking on a toy,” the marshal’s office said in a statement, according to the Journal-Constitution. “However, the investigation yielded evidence that Dale was in fact shot and killed by Peabody at his Paulding County home.” 
  
 On June 20, investigators executing a search warrant on Peabody’s former home in Paulding County unearthed the remains of a dog they suspected was Dale. 
  
 Peabody was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals and making a false statement to investigators. 
  
 His wife, Tyler Verlander, meanwhile, was cited for operating a dog boarding and training business without a Cherokee County occupation tax certificate, according to the Journal-Constitution. She was also charged with operating a boarding and training business inside a residential district and too close to a residential property. The charges are unrelated to the K-9 deaths. 
  
 On Tuesday, investigators announced yet another twist in the curious case. 
  
 A forensic veterinarian had determined that the dog remains did not, in fact, belong to Dale. 
  
 Instead, they belonged to a Belgian Malinois — possibly Inca’s grandmother. 
  
 The discovery brought to three the number of dogs Peabody is suspected of killing, although authorities say the development won’t affect charges facing the former school cop.

 Investigators have found the remains of a third dog at the former Paulding County home of Daniel Peabody, who was arrested after his police K-9 officer, Inca, was found dead of heat stroke after being left inside his patrol car. 
  
 Back in June, police said Peabody arrived to his home in Cherokee County and turned his patrol car off, leaving the 4-year-old dog in the back of the car. Peabody then went inside his home to deal with another dog. 
  
 Peabody told police that he remembered that he left the dog in his patrol car a few hours later and when he went outside to check, he found that Inca was dead. 
  
 Peabody also allegedly admitted to shooting another former K-9 partner, a yellow lab named Dale. When Dale died, Peabody reported he choked on a toy. After his arrest he changed his story and said he shot the police dog. 
  
 When Cherokee County investigators began looking for Dale's remains, it lead them to Peabody's former home in Dallas where his ex-wife still lives. 
  
 Cherokee County and Paulding County authorities worked together digging at the property and found the remains of a dog. The dog was not Dale. Police report this third dog is a Belgian Malinois and Inca's grandmother. It was not a police dog but believed to be Peabody's former pet. It was shot in the head. 
  
 "The vets examined the remains and found that they were not Dale, but were those of a Belgian Malinois," said Ron Huston, Chief Marshall with the Cherokee County Marshall's Office. 
  
 Cherokee County Marshal's said Peabody has retained a lawyer and is no longer talking. They cannot ask him about the dead dog found in his yard or the circumstances surrounding its death. 
  
 Peabody is out on bond. CBS46 went to his former home to ask about the third dog but were asked to leave the property.

A:
When Georgia Lt. Daniel Peabody discovered on June 10 that he had left his K-9 police dog, a Belgian Malinois named Inca, in his patrol car for nearly three very hot and fatal hours, "Peabody was very distraught ... even to the point where he was transported to the hospital," said Cherokee County Marshal's Office Chief Ron Hunton at the time. But as officials began looking into Inca's death, they found themselves tugging a string that unraveled what the Washington Post terms a "strange story [that] dates to at least 2012." Peabody resigned just days after Inca's death from heatstroke, and as the investigated proceeded, evidence surface that indicated Peabody had shot and killed Dale, the K-9 yellow lab he worked with for five years through 2012, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The Post notes that Peabody was so close to his dogs that he adopted them once they reached retirement age. But on June 22 the Cherokee County Marshal’s Office announced that "Peabody initially claimed Dale’s death was accidental due to Dale choking on a toy. However, the investigation yielded evidence that Dale was in fact shot and killed." Two days prior, investigators had found remains of a dog believed to be Dale buried in the backyard of Peabody's former home—except it wasn't Dale. On Tuesday, the Marshal's Office revealed a forensic veterinarian's findings: The dog likely died as the result of a gunshot, and it wasn't a yellow lab. It's possible the Belgian Malinois' remains belong to Inca's grandmother, reports the Journal-Constitution; the whereabouts of Dale's remains are unknown. Peabody has been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals and making false statements to law enforcement. CBS46 reports he is out on bond and "no longer talking."
