A Secret Service dog died in New Orleans Saturday night when it fell from a parking garage during a sweep for an event featuring Vice President Biden, the Secret Service said Sunday.
The dog fell from a parking garage at the New Orleans Ritz-Carlton, where Biden was speaking at a fundraiser for Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) Saturday night.
“It was a tragic accident,” Secret Service spokesman Max Milien told The Hill Sunday.
Milien said the Secret Service was not releasing the name and age of the dog, a Belgian Malinois.The Secret Service has a K-9 division created in the 1970s, the Canine Explosives Detection Unit, which pairs bomb-sniffing dogs with handlers to search for drugs, explosives and firearms.
