"She was almost completely deaf and slow moving"
the dog was probably going somewhere to die. mostly deaf, lethargic, and two years past life expectancy, it was ready to go. dogs do that. i had dog that was so old and fucked up he could barely move, but damned if he didn't break out and go find some place to lay down and die.
all this outrage is baloney. unless the owners are in worse shape than that dog was there's no reason why they couldn't contain a geriatric corgi or at least hold it down long enough to put a collar on it. blaming the hospital is stupid.
