I had made arrangements with Kiren for my 1yr old Labradoodle to attend her daycare while I was in town visiting my Parents -the first day I arrived within her posted business hours she was no where to be found, though the kennel appeared to be full of dogs under her care.
After I waited a while and was becoming increasingly more and more late for work her 10yr or younger son happened by telling me that I could leave my dog with him till she arrived -being slightly dubious I gave him my number and told him to have his mom call if there were any concerns or issues with taking him for the day since I would be within a 5 mins distance if needed. I received no calls and assumed the best.
Later when I arrived an hour before closing to pick up my dog, Kiren was still nowhere to be found and I was greeted by her husband this time -who appeared to be cleaning out a structure adjacent to the kennel area, but not monitoring the dogs either. I was then told my dog had been in an 'accident' due to a jagged piece of exposed metal sheeting in the kennel area(yes, where the dogs are kept), but that his cut had been looked after and tended by Kiren at some point. I quickly spotted the large matted area of blood on my dogs hind quarter as he came rushing towards me while at the same time another dog set upon him in a vicious manner, which the husband then deduce had been segregated into the area he had just brought my dog into due to aggressive behaviour.
He called Kiren via his mobile to her unknown location and told her I had arrived -after waiting several minutes assuming she was on her way to provide an account of what had happen I asked her husband when she be joining us, who told me she wouldn't. I then bundled up my dog who had remained standing behind me seeking protection and headed home -it didn't take long to notice the blood pooling where he was sitting, at which point i quickly diverted to the Vet who confirmed he required stitches and that the cut had gone deep enough to sever muscle tissue.
As I'm writing this we are still waiting to see if he will be able to withstand the threat of infection, since the Vet has true concerns regarding this.
Anyone can be nice to a dog, but don't mistake those people for the responsible professionals who you can entrust and depend on with there care when needed. read more
