Yorkieโs death at airport facility fuels legal fight
The dog died in September at a private facility at New Yorkโs Kennedy Airport used to hold animals from overseas that are denied entry to the U.S. by federal officials. The news was heartbreaking for a woman who says she was the owner-in-waiting for the female Yorkie. โItโs been really, really rough for me to deal with her death,โ Rachel Hobbs, of Dayton, Ohio, said in a recent interview. A second Yorkie named Wonderful Baby Blue Diamond was under the care of a veterinary clinic suffering from an intestinal illness, according to court papers filed this week. โThe question of who is responsible for any of these charges rests upon whether the seizure was reasonable and constitutional,โ the plaintiffs say in court papers.
