Groomer super glues dog's ear back on
A pet owner in Seattle said a groomer cut off her dog's ear then tried to glue it back on so no one would notice.
Anni Sheriffius made the discovery when she took Jasmine home and thought she spotted what looked like dirt on her shih tzu's ear.
She was stunned when the appendage suddenly came off as she tried to clean it. She quickly put the ear in a plastic bag and rushed it off to the vet, where she learned what happened.
"I saw the ear float away, and it freaked me out," she said.
Her dog has since been treated for an infection stemming from the incident, and police are looking into potential charges against the unlicensed groomer.
"Once they tried to hide it and glued the ear back on, that's not good for the dog," said Det. Ed Troyer of the Pierce County Sheriff's Department. "There are all kinds of things that can happen, infection. It's cruelty to animals."
The store where the alleged incident is believed to have happened has since shut down.
Sheriffius said she's been crying ever since the discovery and doesn't know how anyone could have done such a thing to a cute little dog. She said that she wants justice.
"I'd like her never, ever to touch another dog," Sheriffius said. "That's what I'd like to see."

How can someone super glue someone's dog's ear back?
When I first heard about this, I was shocked. Did they seriously think that the owner wouldn't notice their dog's ear missing?
I'd be horrified if that happened to my dog.
