Pete and Jo-Ann Mitischev with their surviving dog Belle just a day after their other dog, Ben, was poisoned.
Dog poisoning shocks family
A
Chilliwack couple want to warn dog owners after their German shepherd, Ben, died of an apparent poisoning last week. Pete and Jo-Ann Mitischev are devastated at the loss of one of their two beloved animals, and they don’t understand why anyone would intentionally do such a thing. “It just put me into shock,” Pete Mitischev told the Times last Thursday. “It’s heartbreaking.” Mitischev arrived to his downtown home a day before only to find
two-year-old Ben bleeding from the mouth and the anus. The couple took the dog to Family Pet Hospital in Sardis. “They took one look at the dog and said ‘This looks like poisoning.’” The dog was tested for canine parvovirus, which can cause similar symptoms, but it came back negative. Back at home, Mitischev found two rawhide sticks that had been tossed into his fenced in driveway, apparently from the back alley. “My good dog (Belle) came out, went up to the rawhide sticks and immediately turned around and ran in the other direction,” he said.
Mitischev wants to be clear that he does not have 100 per cent proof that the dog was poisoned, but all signs are pointing that way. He also pointed out that, he asked, and animal control has never had a complaint about his dog. “All my neighbours were worried sick,” he said. “Our dog is kept inside at night, they are in a pen inside our fenced yard if we aren’t home. Then we have a six-foot fence. I walk them daily with a double leash. “I think it’s some sick person.” Mitischev called the RCMP, animal control and the SPCA. The file is currenlty in the hands of the SPCA.
