RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - An executive for an anti-animal crueltygroup 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.
