Three weeks later, the dog died. I m hurt, Lanza said. I have a 7-year-old who s still crying over the puppy.
Lanza said she immediately contacted the owner of the store for a refund and for repayment of the $4,000 she paid in veterinary bills, which she said the owner was willing to cover. Once I send him the bill, I got an automatic text message saying the number was no longer in service, she said.
Kally Hirakis, of Bellrose, said her fiancé purchased a Golden Doodle puppy for $2,000 from the store on February 10. It was a surprise for her 30th birthday.
