DoggieNews: Shih Tzu Dead After Over-Drying

Shih Tzu Dead After Over-Drying

Monday, January 24, 2005

Television WESH reported a story where a family's Shih Tzu died during a stay at the dog groomer. The dog was placed inside of a cage dryer, and died when the dryer was left on too long. Apparently, the timer on the dryer malfunctioned and the dog died.

The groomer responsible for Murphy's death said she feels horrible and grief stricken about the tragic accident and has offered the family full restitution. She also said she will never again use the cage heaters in her shop.
