I too find the owner of the pet with cutoff ears less then believable based on the bit of info given in the article. How would it take you weeks to find out your dog had part of its ears taped on???????? You wouldn't notice your dog pawing at the ears - dogs always paw at tape - that's how you teach them some tricks. Not to mention the pain & then itching from the cut - didn't notice a thing from the dog's behavior to suspect something was wrong until they began to come untaped? What kind of tape will hold on a dog for weeks that you wouldn't be able to see or feel? And you wouldn't feel it on your dog's ears when you inspected them after grooming, daily inspections for ticks & fleas, during baths when they are wet and during petting, rubbing and cuddling? The owner's story is hard to accept based on the article.
