A small terrier was recently found abandoned, just outside the Animal Hospital of Valley Ranch's back door. The dog was dead, strangled by an electrical cord someone had tied to its neck and wrapped around the post.
It wasn't found until the clinic opened on the morning of July 14, when it was too late to save the animal.
"It looks like the dog wrapped itself up and strangled itself - it's very cruel," said Jennifer Horton.
The staff say that people often abandon pets at veterinary clinics.
"If you are trying to find a home for your pet, there's a better way of going about it," Horton said.
The dog was a Boston terrier mix and its death has tugged at every heart in this small Irving clinic.
"The note said, 'My name is Zeus. I'm a good dog,'" said Horton. Neighborhood MapFor more information about the Interactive Animal Cruelty Maps, see the map notes.
