CA Dog Euthanized After FedEx Driver Threw Package Over Fence Crushing Pet

A California couple claims a FedEx driver threw a package across their fence with so much force it squashed their tiny dog and caused such severe injuries that she needed to be euthanized.

Mitchell Galin and Keiko Napier, of Venice, said Cooper, their 4-pound Yorkshire Terrier, was laying in their yard over the weekend when a FedEx employee who was delivering a large package tossed it onto their property.

The package apparently landed on Cooper, the couple told KCBS-TV. Galin said she "immediately picked up the box, and Cooper was in a puddle of blood."

Cooper suffered serious lung and liver injuries, per the dog's veterinarian. The couple said they chose to have the pup euthanized.

Animal Protection Laws By State

Florida lawmakers recently introduced a bill that would make animal abuse a federal offense.

It is a federal crime to record or distribute videos depicting animal abuse, according to legislation passed in 2010, but the actual act of animal cruelty isn't punishable on a federal level.

If the bill – a bipartisan effort backed by Democratic Rep. Ted Deutch and Republican Rep. Vern Buchanan – is passed, people charged with harming animals will face fines and up to seven years in prison, according to The New York Times.

Right now, animal cruelty cases are handled by the states, whose felony provisions have a wide range. For example, in some states, cruelty, neglect, fighting, sexual assault and abandonment of animals all result in felony charges. But in other states, felonies only result from the abuse of certain types of animals.

Couple With Service Dog Says Uber Drivers Denied Them A Ride

On Nov. 8, Chelsea resident Sarah Wiles waited outside the Market Basket there for an Uber ride, along with her boyfriend, Ben Chase, and her guide dog, Atlas.

ut what is usually a routine task ended with the couple going through four different drivers, two of whom declined to give the trio a ride due to Atlas.

And it isn’t the first time Wiles, who is blind, said that she’s struggled to get a ride from a ride service company due to having service dog.

“It’s happened at least a dozen times over the past two years,” Wiles said, noting that if a driver cancels her ride, it’s usually when she either texts or calls them to let them know she has Atlas with her. “It’s pretty common.”

Tips For Preparing Your Pup For A Pack Walk

As all owners know, walking your dog is a top priority to keep pups happy and healthy. Walks provide great low-impact exercise for dogs of all ages and their owners. It also allows dogs to explore the wide world that exists outside of their own backyards.

Dogs are stimulated by sights and sounds, and they want to understand their surroundings. Bringing your pup out into the world also helps desensitize them to noise and teaches them to keep calm in a crowd. What’s more, exploring as a group is something dogs innately crave. In the wild, canids venture out together in search of food, so being a part of a greater pack is part of their nature. One of the best ways to help your domesticated dog satisfy that instinctual need is to join a group dog walk.
