So, if your dog gets severely injured, and needs ER treatment....

[Coventina]

27. Here is the story. Sorry, I was so upset last night I couldn't calm myself to type it out.

Here's the story, without giving too much detail, as there are lawyers involved now and I don't want to add to the problem:

"Owner" left his dog with his roommate when he moved out, with a promise to get the dog at some time in the future. Roommate was left with no info on the "owner's" whereabouts with only an email and a phone # for contact info.

After "owner" left, his dog, for whatever reason (abandonment issues? change in pack dynamic?) began attacking the roommate's dog. Roommate repeatedly emailed, texted, phoned "owner" that the dog was causing a problem and a dangerous situation and needed to be claimed by "owner." "Owner" never responded.

Finally, a bad dogfight erupted between the two dogs, necessitating an emergency trip to the vet. Roommate genuinely cares for "owner's" dog, but has no money to pay for the emergency medical treatment needed. Gives the vet the "owner's" phone number. When vet talks to "owner", "owner" disavows ownership of the dog, and refuses to pay for emergency treatment.

Roommate then says will take responsibility, but can only pay $100 down, and $50 a month thereafter. Vet agrees and treats the dog. After the dog has recovered enough to go home, roommate places the dog with a rescue, as it is obvious that the two dogs can no longer get along.

Now, "owner" has sent threatening letter via lawyer to roommate, demanding to know where dog has been placed. Out of concern for dog, roommate is refusing to divulge that information.
