    SPCA exec's dog dies after being left in hot car

    Another of those stories that leaves me astounded.

    The 16-year-old dog dies of kidney failure after being left for four hours



    updated 1:56 p.m. CT, Wed., Aug 26, 2009

    RICHMOND, Virginia - An executive for an anti-animal cruelty group says her 16-year-old blind and deaf dog died after she accidentally left him in her hot car for four hours.

    Robin Starr, the CEO of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, says she didn't realize "Louie" was in the car until noon. Starr's husband, Ed, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch he put the dog in her car as she got ready for work Aug. 19. She often took the dog to work with her.

    Robin Starr took the dog to two clinics, but he died of kidney failure.

    The National Weather Service says the temperature had reached 91 degrees by noon that day.

    The board of the SPCA says it still supports Starr, who has been CEO since 1997 and does not plan to resign. It was unclear whether she would be charged.

    Yeah, AP should be able to find something more important than a dead dog.
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

      I would laugh if it not for a dead dog. But he was pretty old for a dog...

        So should the executive for the SPCA.

        Kinda ruins the message she tries to send.

        ACK!
        Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

            Awesome wasn't the first word that popped into my mind. It wasn't the 173rd either.

                762nd, and the idea that it was so ironic as to be awesome.

                  Another dog died, too. And another. And probably several hundred more.

                      Is the fact that it was an SPCA head honcho completely lost on you? Evidently.
                      I'm not saying it's any more a tragedy, I'm saying it's very much more ironic.

                      You're a mod now? Damn, you're pretty dim-witted for a mod.

                        Yes, that's what makes it awesome.

                            he should be locked in a car with the windows rolled up in the parking lot of an el paso safeway.
