Wrongful Euthanization?

A heartbroken dog owner wants answers after she says her pet was put to sleep without her permission.

Edwina Lambert says animal control officers on the Cherokee Indian Reservation took her dog right out of her front yard. By the time she got home from work and noticed the dog was missing, she says 14-year-old Sadie had already been euthanized.

In Cherokee, animal control officers can legally put down a pet if they think its in pain and can’t get in touch with its owner. But Edwina says her contact information was on the dog’s collar.

Tribal leaders have ordered a full investigation into the incident to determine exactly what happened.
