Dino the German Shepherd has been renamed Odin.
Sunny is a yellow labrador who was boarded along with Dino the dog and then left behind by the owner at Muttley Makeovers by Miss Mae.
KELLOGG — Dogs Sunny, the yellow Labrador, and Dino, the German shepherd weren’t scheduled for a long stay at Muttley Makeovers by Miss Mae. Instead, their stay at the Kellogg dog groomer and boarding venue turned into weeks when their owner never returned for them. The dog groomer said the owner went so far as to fake her own death to avoid taking responsibility for the pets.
Business owner Emily Mae said the doggie roommates were dropped off as an emergency boarding situation. The owner reportedly claimed a family medical emergency required a visit out of state to see a relative who had fallen ill. The dogs would need to be picked up by Dec. 20, however, to not interfere with Christmas boarding reservations for other dogs.
That pickup never took place, and as the staff kept trying to contact the owner, they ran into a brick wall.
