Police disciplined over dog de
Two police officers from the Lothian and Borders force have been disciplined following the death of a greyhound in a Midlothian station in January.
An investigation was launched after the stray greyhound died when police in Dalkeith put it into a kennel and forgot about it for 10 days.
The Crown Office earlier said there would be no criminal proceedings.
In a statement, police said they deeply regretted the death of the dog and procedures were being reviewed.

A curfew for police drunks
POLICE Commissioner Ken Moroney was forced to introduce a curfew at the Goulburn police college yesterday, after a drunken rampage involving as many as six off-duty officers in the town.
One officer has been issued with a court appearance notice, after being caught urinating in public during the early hours of Friday morning.
Another officer is being investigated for an alleged assault after an altercation with a member of the public, and a third faces action for allegedly refusing to leave a bar when asked to.
The incidents took place between 9.30pm on Thursday and about 2.30am on Friday after a group of officers
left the college for a night on the town.
Mr Moroney also announced the appointment of Christine Ronalds, SC yesterday to help reform "gender-based policy" and codes of conduct within the NSW Police.
The move follows revelations of widespread sexual harassment within the force, and inappropriate sexual contact between students and instructors at the police college.
Mr Moroney said last week's antics were the last straw in his decision to impose an 11pm curfew on Sunday to Thursday nights, and midnight for Friday and Saturdays.
"It's just a case of people going into the city of Goulburn to celebrate," he said.
"Some appear to have celebrated too much."
Breath tests conducted at the college the next morning returned positive results for seven out of 113 officers.
All 101 students tested returned negative results.
Several other incidents involving police officers or people "claiming" to be police officers also occurred during the drunken spree, including two further alleged assaults.
Goulburn police are reviewing CCTV footage and seeking witness statements.
Six of the seven officers who tested positive to alcohol have been removed from the college and returned to their local area command, where they face further sanction.
The seventh, an instructor at the college, faces disciplinary action there.
Police Minister Carl Scully denied there was a systematic culture of alcohol abuse and sexual misconduct at the college, saying the majority of teachers and students lived up to the high standards expected of them.
Those who misbehaved would now face harsher penalties than in the past, Mr Scully said.
