A doctor at Riverside Animal Clinic, located at 801 W 187th St., had told Marie Moore that X-rays showed her beloved bulldog, Cowboy, had died from congestive heart failure, but an autopsy found that his heart was fine and that he'd actually suffocated as a result of over-barking, Moore said in papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
"Defendants ignored obvious signs of Cowboy's distress, allowing Cowboy to continue barking for days without proper care or intervention, until his severely swollen throat suffocated him and caused his death," Moore said in her suit, which charges the clinic and kennel with veterinary malpractice.
"Moreover, the X-rays Dr. [Javier] Ramos claims to have relied upon to substantiate his claim that Cowboy died from heart failure actually show that Cowboy's heart was normal." Ramos and the clinic declined comment.

Probably one of those little brainless dogs, that won't stop barking at anything and everything.
I know the type; no doubt all the other animals stuck listening to that mindless yap were thankful the thing finally dropped dead.
I would say it was the owners fault; they should have known better.
Anons never read the whole story do they? Bulldog.
Yup, you got me there, I did ass-u-me on that one. I've observed it so many times though...couldn't help myself. :/
Say, your hot! Got a boyfriend? :)
