Yesterday my mom and I were sitting in our chiropractors office and saw a picture of a husky in the newspaper. Having a husky you're naturally pulled in anytime you see one. Once I read the caption under the picture I was physically sick.

Afterward all I could imagine is this happening to phoebe and just how distraught I would be.

One thing I couldn't figure out is how if the trooper was driving away straight the dog was pulled under the rear tires.

That is horrifying! I can't even imagine! It said they were tied to the front bumper, so I'm guessing that's how he ended up under the rear tires.

Wow.

Oh my. Words can not express how distraught I would be. I feel really sick to my stomach after reading that. What a terrible, terrible way to die.

I read the full article and it said the dogs wore break-away collars. I've never heard of them. Fortunately, at least it worked for Liz, the other husky.

Such a sad story.

Oh my gosh that's horrifying. This broke my heart, I can't imagine how the owner feels

i saw this on FB yesterday and could not believe it. i hope that cop gets some kind of right up or something! how do you miss a dog tied to your car!

Two dogs ... it's ridiculous...

Side Note: I love how the "smallest husky the vet had ever seen" turned into a 40 lb [within standard] husky...

whats wrong with these people ? how can you forget a thing like that, he should be fired or have some complain written by the owner, what the hell, you just DONT forget that you have two dogs tied onto your car!

The officer was careless, he assumed that the dogs weren't there anymore instead of just checking himself. Personally, he should've put the dogs in his car, not tied to it. Obviously, Lois's breakaway collar failed since it didn't break away for her. So many things just went wrong that cost that poor dog its life. I doubt anything will happen to the officer since it was accident, but he should have to pay a fine or pay for the vet bill or something. Never assume things, always check for yourself!

This is sickening....Those poor dogs and I feel terrible for the owner. I don't know what I would do if I were in his position. Poor things  I hope there is some sort of consequence for the officer.
