VET TECH FIRED AFTER REFUSING TO LEAVE A DYING SHELTER DOG ALONE ON ITS LAST NIGHT
VET TECH FIRED AFTER REFUSING TO LEAVE A DYING SHELTER DOG ALONE ON ITS LAST NIGHT The shelter was closing and the old dog had hours left, so she stayed on the floor of the kennel all night, and they fired her for it. TUCSON, AZ — Veterinary technician Dana Pruitt, 31, has been terminated from her animal shelter after refusing to clock out and leave a 13-year-old dog alone to die overnight in an empty building. Pruitt stayed from 6 p.m. until 5 a.m. on a blanket beside the kennel so the dog, named Otis, would not pass alone The shelter flagged it because she "remained on site after hours without supervisor approval" She bought him a $4 cheeseburger and a $6 squeaky toy from the 24-hour spot down the road for his final night Her termination notice cited "unauthorized after-hours presence" and "use of facility space beyond assigned duties" A manager reportedly told her the act "created liability" and "is not part of the role we hired her for" Volunteers who heard the story showed up the next morning with flowers, and the parking lot filled before the doors even opened. "In 22 years of running shelters I have never fired someone for holding a dying animal, and I am sick that I had to today," said operations director Frank Mills, reading a statement he openly resented. Otis passed at sunrise with his head in her lap. The termination letter is tucked under his collar on her shelf.
