    Dog Locked In Van

    I don't know if anyone heard of this story from Burlington,Vermont that happened over Christmas and New Years.A man from Frelighsburg,Quebec, went on a trip,leaving on a plane from Burlington,he said he didn't know his 12 year old Miniature Poodle Michou was there.the dog was in the cold van for 19 days with no food or water,it had lost 11 pounds from 20- to 9.they couldn't believe the dog was still alive.The police didn't have any evidence to prove it was deliberate,so he was only fined $100..the dog is doing better now,gaingin weight and is living with a retired couple.the people are behind and supporting his original owner,saying it not deliberate.I remember us leaving our late Miniature poodle Ruffles home alone or with someone like me here and he would howl like crazy,so i find it hard to believe he didn't know the dog was there.The local NBC station down in Burlington did an editorial and really slammed the guy for doing this.This story was in the Toronto Star yesterday.the odd time when we would go out I would tape Ruffles doing that,I have a tape of that in the radio,just heard it and he was howling,makes me feel sad hearing him.
    thanks very much devon. I have been boo'd.

    He must have been so scared and hungry! I can see that happening, but it is sad. Not every dog is a howler, and so many just love "going for a ride" that he may have hopped in, and a van is big enough that he must have gotten behind something for the "ride." Poor doggie! He should have barked when the guy initially arrived and parked!

    Not that you're asking ME but: I do a "visual" on them all the time. Before bed, before leaving the house, sometimes "just because". OMG...whenever I do laundry! Sometimes, we're out the door and one of us will say "did you see Moon before we left?" Back to the house to check if one of us can't say yes
