RICHMOND, Va. (Aug. 26) ? 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.

I got this email on the 26th

A member of the Richmond SPCA family has been struck with a personal tragedy in recent days. While this matter is deeply personal, it has gained attention of local media; therefore, we would like to share with you directly what has been a source of enormous grief for our CEO Robin Starr and her family.

Last Wednesday, the Starr family lost a dear companion in their 16-year-old dog Louie. Sometimes Louie accompanied Robin to the office on days their home was being cleaned. The morning of August 19, just before Robin left for work, her husband Ed placed Louie inside the rear of her station wagon with the intention of letting her know Louie was there. However, Ed forgot to tell Robin that Louie was in the car. Because Louie ? being a docile senior pet ? rode silently, lying contently in the back of the station wagon, Robin was unaware of his presence when she arrived at work.

It was not until Robin returned to her car at lunchtime that she saw Louie. At that time he was alive but in heat stroke. She rushed him inside where the Richmond SPCA veterinary team diligently worked to stabilize him before he was transported to Veterinary Emergency Center for more extensive care. At the family?s direction, the VEC team made every possible effort to save Louie, but late that night, he died.

Everyone at the Richmond SPCA shares the deepest sympathy for the Starr family, as we realize that such a tragic accident could befall anyone. Louie could not have had a family love him more. We would prefer that the Starrs be allowed to grieve privately, but, since the local news media may not make that possible, we wanted to make you aware of what occurred. We have every confidence that your hearts will go out to the Starrs just as ours do.

Sincerely,

Tabitha Hanes
Community Relations Manager
Richmond SPCA
