What a sad and heartless thing to do to a good friend and working partner. Ringo would feel what had happened; that he'd been abandoned by someone he loved and trusted. They do know.
Thank goodness the trainer noticed him.
When I think of many soldiers who have worked so hard to adopt and ship their military partners from places like Afghanistan, I am shocked that the police officer could do that to Ringo.
There may have been a family situation, where an ex-working dog like Ringo could not have adapted to children in a house (for example), but the officer could have made an effort to find a happy home for him! He would have had plenty of warning that Ringo's retirement was coming!
