49. I have heard from someone who knows the woman that the story is all wrong.

The dog, Bailey, had cancer throughout his body. His owner loved him very much and took him swimming because he had always loved the water. Nancy, the owner, helped him off the dock into the water, but Bailey collapsed and sank. Nancy was hysterical and begged for help. An officer at the scene asked her if she had purposely drowned her dog to avoid paying for him to be euthanized, and this is the account that has been publicized. Apparently this woman is doubly traumatized, by the sudden death of Bailey and by the very public vilification of her.

I don't buy that story at all. If you have a very sick dog you don't throw it in deep water. Coventina Jun 2019 #62

From what I have been told, she didn't throw her dog into the water. Bluepinky Jun 2019 #65

Why was an officer at the scene I wonder? fescuerescue Jun 2019 #67

The police said the dog drowned in 3.5 feet of water. If so, I don't see why Tanuki Jun 2019 #68

Yes, let her have her day in court. Hopefully the truth, whatever it is, will come out. Bluepinky Jun 2019 #69
