Barked Himself to Death

I came across this article and thought how bizarre and sad. The dog must have been quite distressed to bark that long. Poor guy.

How sad! I have enough friends and family that hopefully I'll never have to board Sasha, but this story makes me even more adamant that I will keep her with people I trust or I won't go anywhere she can't go.

I would sue the PANTS off that vet.....

I hope they do make them go to court and defend themselves over this. One would hope your dog would be safe leaving it at a vet's.

I know someone who had a foster dog at the vet and the dog got away at the vet's office. I don't think she was ever found

Even when you think you've done your very best, bad things happen. What a shame.

you said it right there....i always fear having my beloved boarded. Those working there may not be the animal lover as we are. They COULD be just there to make the money and go home. couldn't care less. You NEVER know what you could be getting yourself into.

I was gonna say, that sounded outside the realm of possibility.

Sounds like the real crime here is the vet ignoring a distressed dog and then covering up the real cause of death.

I have to wonder as well. Boarding is very stressful for some dogs and stress related barking is not that uncommon in a kennel. However, I've never heard of a dog barking so much they died - usually they just become hoarse.
