She should have to serve as Michael Vick's housekeeper for a couple of years >_<

she better have a Really good excuse for that. I will NEVER understand the mentality of people who take their pets EVERYWHERE they go. I know some dogs are hellions and if you leave them alone they will chew everything in sight, but I still chalk that up to bad "parenting". (I also have little respect for people who refer to their animals as children, but thats another thread)

What I REALLY dont get, is that the dog is deaf and blind. OBVIOUSLY, she had to keep on her toes to help it do most anything. when a dog requires that much care, you usually tend to not absentmindedly forget about them for four hours....

how sad..could you imagine going to your car and finding your dog dead inside?

I would think it is not a good excuse, but it is an explanation... I don tthink they shoul dbe charged wit hany crime...

if they were looking to put it down, I would think they would be smart enough (considering there credentials) to just take it to the humane society...

So she drove to work with the dog in car and supposedly never noticed? Complete and utter bull! If she was so dense as to not notice a dog in the car with her then I suspect she is rather mentally lacking as a dog is a hard thing not to notice in such a small space as a car. Its even more surprising that the group she works for hasn't staked her out for the crows yet, however there is still time I hope.

ok wait a minute! she calims he put the dog in the car while she was getting ready for work? It tok her 4 huors to get ready for work???? im lost on this...is it possible, a reasonably healhty human in fact moves slower than frozen mollassis!!?

She was functioning way below 40% capacity. She has had one too many GMO soy lattes. GMO soy is bad for the brain. Being a lover of all animals its probably her main source of protein.She probably also had her H1N1 shot. She brushed her teeth with a fluoridated toothpaste and drinks flouridated psychiatric laced tap water. It is a wonder she remembered to put on clothes before she went out the door.

How big was this dog that she couldn't see?
Why did her husband put it in the car?
Does he always do this?

Unless she had witnesses when she went to the car 4 hours later, she would have been wise to just not say anything.

This is very sad for the dog who was so aged and so handicapped, having trusted his humans for all his needs.
I had one like that. He was tiny and we put papers on the porch for his potty, and closed the area so he couldn't run into things.

Mistake?

Our prisons are full of people who made "mistakes". Is her responsibility somehow different?

In fact, the SPCA has made a reputation prosecuting, maligning, and in effect, persecuting any people who make such "mistakes".

But not her.

Um... don't mind me ... I'm just cynical about these 'board members.'

Just my opinion, but here it is.

She is in a position of responsibility directly related to her "mistake". She should get twice the punishment.

If I were to hit a police officer I would get a much harsher penalty, well if people in positions of greater power and responsibility break the law, especially as it relates to their position, they should be held to greater account.

Funny thing is, it won't happen, i.e. steal billions of dollars from investors, ruin lives and you'll get 6 years. Steal a can of spam from 7-11 you'll get as much if not more.

Ridiculously ironic. The SPCA, of all organizations, should file charges and remove her from her position.

That is what should be done. Animal abuse is animal abuse. Plain and simple.

Um......16 years old? Blind AND deaf dog? Seriously, this dog was done a favor. Not exactly the most humane, but still, the dog needed to be put down anyway.
