A neighbor has contacted La Voz to report that his dog has died after being poisoned in the Los Noruegos de Famara urbanization area.

According to his account, the events took place on Sunday night, after he went out with his dog for a walk around 10:30 p.m. and decided to let him go for a while, since "there was no one on the street." "On two occasions he got lost for a little while and I couldn't see him, but he came back," says this man.

However, upon arriving home, he claims that the animal, a Yorkshire, "began to feel ill." In addition, after going to bed, he heard "a noise" and found the dog "pooping under the bed," which seemed strange to him because he "never" did his business at home.

The dog "got worse and worse" and already, around 6:30 a.m., his owner called a veterinarian to go to the emergency room. There, he points out that they first took an X-ray. "Because I had given him a piece of turkey that had some bone, and just in case it had gotten stuck, but nothing," says his owner, who claims that finally the animal went into cardiac arrest and ended up dying in the veterinary clinic, where they confirmed that he had been poisoned.

"I don't know if someone, because it was being said that there was a large loose dog and they were afraid, put poison," says this neighbor, who is very affected by the death of his dog. "I don't know how there are people capable of doing that," adds this man, who, however, does not rule out that it may be poison that someone has put "for the rats" on some farm. And it is that, he really does not know how his dog could have been poisoned.

Thus, he wanted to alert the rest of the citizens, so that they are careful if they walk their dogs in the area.
