YT 1000 Club Member | Very sad story. Considering that this was a dog groomer did she not know some dogs bite in stressful/unfamiliar surroundings? Either way I feel sorry for the maltese, the owners, and the groomer. I'm sure he/she feels horrible and it was a surprised reaction to being bit(if she was). Terrible |

| I couldn't read the article; the title was enough for me, but I agree, she should be in JAIL.

| I don't feel sorry for the groomer at all. I have been kicked, bitten, and slapped doing childrens hair. I would never retaliate, they are kids, I feel the same applies to groomers. It is not like it was a 90lb pitbull who could of killed her.

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Such a very sad and unnecessary end to this pups life. I feel so bad for the family, I cant imagine what they must be going through right now.

YT 1000 Club Member | I feel sorry for her because she has to live with the fact that she killed an animal who didn't mean her any harm it was probably just scared. She works in a setting where the chances of getting bitten are high so she should know what comes with the "job's territory". Whether it's a 90 lb pit or a 5 lb yorkie a bite is a bite. I've seen enough "little dog" bites at my old job to not excuse it because it comes from a toy breed. Unfortunately, people excuse bites when it comes from small animals because they aren't seen as a "threat" like the larger breeds. I'm not justifying the groomer's reaction and I agree that she should have lost her job as well as pay the owners some type of compensation(not that you could put a monetary value on the situation) but I'm sure it was just that...a reaction. I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt, nonetheless kill the poor dog. |

| I can understand maybe dropping the dog, etc. as a reaction but throwing it against a wall hard enough to kill it?

YT 1000 Club Member | Reaction...how you may react by dropping the pup someone else may react completely differently. Either way the groomer should find another field to work in... which I'm sure she'll have to. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | What a horrible and sad story. That groomer must have thrown that baby with a lot of force. Aren't groomers trained on how to act or what to do in that type of situation? I feel so bad for the owners and that poor baby. I'm sorry that I just don't feel bad for the groomer. I'm sure this will follow her around for quite some time. Especially if she looks for another grooming job. Rest in peace, Darby.

YT 1000 Club Member | Another grooming job? I hope not! If she tries I hope her perspective employers do a background check. Situations like these further convince me not to leave my babies(be they fur or skin) with people I don't "check out" unsupervised. |

| From the article "This dog had seen this groomer twice before." and "The groomer said Darby attacked her when she reached into the dog's cage." So if she was reaching into the cage why did she not just pull her hand away instead she pulled the dog out of the cage and flung it against the wall. If she had groomed it twice before she knew it's temperament if it was a reactive dog she should have been more careful in her approach. What ever she did the dog was fearful and snapped. I am sure it was painful but not enough to justify what she did. Murder. I am sure at a Vet's office they encounter lots of reactive animals and it is the business to know how to react appropriately. She should never be a groomer again in my opinion as she does not have good anger management skills. Poor dog and owners how devastating.

YT 1000 Club Member | True...I read the full article which is why I put "if" she was bitten. This particular dog may have been fine the first 2 or 3 times she groomed him which may be why she reacted the way she did. Either way her reaction is inexcusable and she should have handled it better, I'm sure one of the questions an interviewer for a groomer would ask would pertain to being bitten. The news story doesn't "add up" which you pointed out, but I'm sure they don't have all their facts straight either. The only thing that is definite is that the poor pup has passed, the owner's are mourning, and the groomer was let go. |
