“Everyone thinks they have the best dog and none of them are wrong,” are the words from a person who definitely has closely analyzed humans’ strong bond with their furry friends. Dogs are the best buddies who don’t mind spending time with us 24*7 and we treat them as a part of our family, so, how could anyone possibly hurt our family? Moreover, expect us not to react! Isn’t that outrageous? Something similar happened when a shocking discovery became the reason for this dog owner’s anger. Animal shelters are not the only majority places which don’t treat pooches well, daycares stand in the line too

Pet Owners

Luke Mullaney and his girlfriend, Lauren Mayer lives in Chicago, Illinois with their adorable Mya. Different types of German Shepherds can be seen as they’re bred with many other breeds and Mya too is a German Shepherd mix-breed pooch whom they adopted two years back from a German Shepherd adoption agency. Trust us when we tell you that they managed to spend quality time with Mya every day, even after their full-time jobs that they never felt a need to enroll Mya in a daycare center. But due to some reasons, they gave it a second thought.

A Decision To Be Made

Somewhere early last year, Luke and Lauren decided to enroll Mya in a nearby dogs daycare. After checking out a few options they finalized Posh Pet Day Spa, one of the best places for dog grooming according to them and not because they weren’t able to give Mya all the time she needed but for a different reason and we find it valid enough.

Sad Past

As you know every dog is unique in its own way and accordingly their requirements differ and only their owners can understand fine. Poor Mya was neglected by her previous owner and now she had anxiety issues and wasn’t open to socializing and for this reason, Luke wanted to introduce her to other pups and let her spend time with other dogs at the spa.

An Identification Mark?

“I noticed there was a big box on the side of the collar and that box was almost directly on her throat,” recalled Luke later in an interview. On March 11, 2017, like every other day, Luke was on time to pick Mya when he noticed an extra collar which at first he thought was an identification mark to classify dogs but then it was something weird which he never noticed in the last one year. Then he was unable to understand that why now all of a sudden this big black band with a box was tightly wrapped around Mya’s neck and what he did next was obvious.

Questioning The Staff

As Luke was unable to understand why would anyone put a collar that tight on Mya’s neck and he was looking for an explanation from the staff as he wanted to know if this was the first instance or it is in their daily routine. Therefore, he immediately walked into the daycare to ask the staff what this is all about; reasonable question but what response he received from the caretakers was disturbing.

Assured Yet Not Sure

Luke was assured by the staff that there’s nothing harmful about the collar and it just made a mere sound to prevent Mya from barking if she ever does and that’s all. Keeping aside all the information, Luke wasn’t convinced as he had this sure feeling that something was suspicious about the collar tightly wrapped around Mya but he didn’t have any evidence to prove his words. “She didn’t seem apologetic — more defending herself,” the couple stated about the dog daycare spa owner.
