In a bizarre tragedy, the English Bulldog, named Cowboy, was found dead at the kennel in Manhattan after carers and vets allegedly ignored its distressed calls.
While vets initially said the dog had died of heart failure and there was nothing that could have been done to have saved him, an autopsy following legal action filed by his owner found it had, in fact, barked so much it managed to suffocate itself.
The owner, Marie Moore, claims doctors at the Riverside Animal Clinic tried to cover up their failings by painting the death as congestive heart failure.
'Defendants ignored obvious signs of Cowboy's distress, allowing Cowboy to continue barking for days without proper care or intervention, until his severely swollen throat suffocated him and caused his death,' court papers filed by Mrs Moore alleged.
