HOUSTON (AP) — A pair of strays have landed within the doghouse after being caught on video inflicting greater than a quarter-million {dollars}’ value of harm at a Houston automotive dealership.
One canine, described as a bull terrier combine, was captured in early December, and the second, whose breed was not instantly identified, was caught Dec. 31, KTRK-TV reported. Both dogs are being held by the Houston animal management shelter, BARC.
The dogs had been captured on surveillance video scratching the paint and tearing the bumpers off of autos within the lot at G Motors, in accordance with the dealership’s finance supervisor, Imran Haq. They prompted an estimated $350,000 in injury.
Haq and gross sales supervisor Gaby Fakhoury contacted BARC when the assaults started in November. They imagine the dogs entered the lot by crawling underneath a fence and that they had been chasing stray cats that had been hiding underneath the autos.
“We have never seen something like this — dogs attacking cars and causing damage,” Fakhoury advised KTRK.
A person who answered a name Friday to G Motors, which sells used autos, declined to present his title or remark.
″(I) simply need all my clients to know that every thing is taken cared of, and you understand, we really feel for these dogs, to be sincere,” Fakhoury advised the TV station. “But they are in good hands, so we don’t have to worry about them right now. They can be adopted, or whatever the city of Houston wants to do.”
The first canine to be captured, named Dasher, has been deemed wholesome, exhibits no indicators of aggression and is adoptable, a BARC spokesperson advised KTRK. The different canine remains to be being evaluated.
An Italian village made headlines last month after police decided {that a} canine with gum illness was liable for slashing the tires of a number of parked automobiles over a matter of months.
