A loyal dog was seen sat waiting at the door for his owner to return – not knowing she’d been killed and would never come home.
The pet is reportedly named Chato and belonged to Mexican journalist, Lourdes Maldonado Lopez, who was murdered on Sunday. She was shot in her car in the Las Villas neighbourhood of Tijuana, in the Mexican state of Baja California where she lived on the border with the US state of California. She had just won a lawsuit for unfair dismissal from a broadcaster owned by the former governor of the state of Baja California, and was killed after saying she feared for her life.Ms Maldonado, who was believed to often look after stray cats and dogs, was found dead after emergency services responded to reports of gunshots in the area.Use Rubber Gloves to Pick up Stray Dog Hair. Does your dogs hair get everywhere, or is it just me? My favorite method for picking up all that loose hair is using a pair of rubber gloves. You put them on and run you hands over your furniture; it’s amazing how well pet hair clings to rubber gloves.
The neighbours found it suspicious that her car was stationary with the engine on for around 40 minutes.
Ms Maldonado was found dead in a red saloon style car, which had window broken by bullets on the driver’s side.Police are currently investigating the murder and no one has yet been arrested.
Your dog needs his own cozy spot as well, preferably a crate, a comfy bed that’s his alone and a selection of appropriate toys.

It’s not the first time dogs have been heartbreakingly loyal. Images from summer 2020 show a pet waiting on a bridge in China for days after its owner had reportedly jumped into a river.Use a Food Dispensing Toy for Fast Eaters. If your dog eats too fast use a food dispensing toy (we love the Kong Wobbler & Bob a Lot), or place a few tennis balls in their bowl to slow their eating. Not only does this keep them from eating too quick, it gives them a nice mental workout.
