Robin Starr, Chief Executive Officer (richmondspca.org)

 

A dog belonging to Robin Starr, the chief executive officer of the Richmond SPCA, died after being left alone for four hours in the car.

In an interview with the Richmond Times-Dispatch at the SPCA's offices, Starr and her husband Ed cried while recounting the story.

Ed said he put the dog, a sixteen year old deaf and blind mutt named Louie, into the vehicle as Robin prepared for work.

Robin arrived at her job without realizing the dog was in the car.

Several hours later when she left to get lunch, Robin saw Louie in the car.

She took the dog inside to the SPCA clinic, then to an emergency veterinary clinic.

The dog died later of kidney failure.

Starr has been CEO of the Richmond SPCA since 1997.

She does not plan to resign.

If a cop did this then she would be the first in line bleating about animal cruelty.

How are people so oblivious to what is in their car??? I mean her head had to be pretty far up her ass to not notice the dog in the back seat.
