Dog put down because of computer error

[Catherine]

I always remember the cat story because it was a teaching moment in my life. I usually pay attention to detail. That is just my nature. It affirmed that I was right to be so careful. Because I was cautious and attentive that cat lived, went home and lived out the rest of his life. It was a minor procedure so the cat should not have died from it, but the anesthetics do have risks. That is why after surgery they keep you in a recovery room. 

I wish they were more cautious with animals. No healthy animal should be euthanized without a careful check of the reasons.
The animal wasn't a stray so why wasn't the owner notified. Even if the dog had bitten a person there should still have been some paperwork from the owner. It is heavy handed to just kill the dog without consulting anyone.
