Powhatan County, Virginia - Allison Marks left her
2-year-old golden retriever, Colby, at a Petco store Friday for what she
thought would be a routine grooming. When she called to ask about him, though,
she was told to go to a nearby animal hospital. There she learned Colby had passed
away.
Marks was told by the veterinarian that Colby had likely
suffered a heat stroke after being left in a heated cage to dry.
"It sickens me that they could just let something like
this happen," she said. "How could he not suffer? He was in a cage
for God knows how long."
Marks said the vet explained to her that Colby's
temperature was more than 105 degrees one hour after his death.
