Va. SPCA exec's dog dies after 4 hours in hot car

RICHMOND, Va. – An executive for an anti-animal cruelty group says her 16-year-old blind and deaf dog died after she accidentally left him in her hot car for four hours.

Robin Starr, the CEO of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, says she didn't realize "Louie" was in the car until noon. Starr's husband, Ed, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch he put the dog in her car as she got ready for work Aug. 19. She often took the dog to work with her.

Robin Starr took the dog to two clinics, but he died of kidney failure.

The National Weather Service says the temperature had reached 91 degrees by noon that day.

The board of the SPCA says it still supports Starr, who has been CEO since 1997 and does not plan to resign. It was unclear whether she would be charged.

Ugh... because I love dogs I'll refrain from making any *ick jokes about this. I'm sure this was accidental, but damn ironic...

It's neglect, plain and simple. Not knowing the dog was there? Not an acceptable excuse, I'm afraid.

I agree 100%. I've never not known where my cat was. And, she's a cat for Pete's sake!
