Well, they wouldn't want to tell me that about my baby....I would go ballistic!!!! I would be on the phone 1st with an attorney, then the better business bureau, then the local chamber of commerce. Unless every employee that was involved got fired, I would never go to this business ever again...because I know how I would react, I would be scared to go back again. I would also post it right on the front of my business web site, so everyone and their mother, etc could see what happened and spread the word.
My dog is my child! If it were a true child in school and a teacher said we lost your child...it would be on every news channel in the country. In my mind, there is no difference!
