A couple says their 3-year-old French bulldog died while it was with a woman who had agreed to train their pet in exchange for $2,250.
A Massachusetts family is mourning the loss of their dog, which police say died while in the care of a woman promising training for the pup, officials said.Bart and Jessie Hanson, of North Reading, say they hired the woman to train their 3-year-old French bulldog, Charlie, through the Thumbtack app for an agreed-upon fee of $2,250.
Bart Hanson grew suspicious and reported to North Reading police on Sept. 16 that Charlie had not been returned by the trainer. According to the police report, Ragland's parents disposed of Charlie's body off the Canterbury Turnpike in Norwichtown, Connecticut, which is about a 37-minute drive from the Haddam home.North Reading police determined that Ragland made numerous false or misleading statements to officers during interviews for the purpose of hindering their investigation.
"We want some good to come out of this, so that his death isn't in vain," Bart Hanson said."You got to really, really look into who you are dealing with."
