    Investigators turned their attention to bather Rosa Cardenas and groomer Susan Arnold, who had retired by the time the investigation began. In April, PACC interviewed Arnold who laughed and said Walter “just went bye bye."

    Jesus.

      There are multiple kinds of laughs, including stress. From the rest of the article it seems pretty clear that the dog was just enormously inbred, like all English bulldogs are, and the groomers at worst didn’t know they shouldn’t place a crime against nature in the drying chamber.

      The missing video is clearly suspicious but it’s only thirty seconds of an already distressed dog. My (unsupported) guess is the cover-up is them not wanting to show the groomers panicking ineffectively. Thirty seconds just isn’t really that long, they could have been literally choking him and it still wouldn’t have killed a healthy dog.

      As for the disclaimer at the start?

      This getting coverage having NOTHING to do with the dog being owned by a manager at the company?
