A Millvale woman is mourning the loss of her pet. But her dog�s death is no accident. Anna Mae Singer says someone gave her dog anti-freeze. Veterinarians tried to save him but they were unsuccessful.
Singer continues to try and make sense of what happened over the last weekend. She let her two and a half year old terrier shadow outside into the backyard. When he came back in, she immediately knew something was wrong. �When he came in from outside, he was walking around, he had no control over his legs, he had no control of his bladder, he was crying,� said Singer. She took shadow to the vet. One of the first questions they asked was: �Did she suspect someone may have poisoned him?� Singer says the only evidence is a large stain on the concrete drain behind her house. Officials say the stain looks like anti-freeze. Eventually, the vet determined it was anti-freeze. Shadow was given medication to flush the poison out but it was too late. �She said his kidneys were starting to fail and probably the best thing would be to put him to sleep rather than him suffer,� recalled Singer.
As for who did it., Singer suspects it's someone from Millvale, or at least., someone who knows the neighborhood. Singer�s vet told her it only takes a teaspoon of anti-freeze to kill a dog that small. She reported the case to the Millvale police, but so far, she hasn't gotten a response.
