You don't have to be a dog lover to know that this is royally messed up.
A Florida man was just arrested after he reportedly faked being a veterinarian to perform surgery on a pregnant dog and ended up killing the dog in the process.
61-year-old Osvaldo Sanchez is a pet groomer in Collier County, Florida, but he called himself Dr. Sanchez and brought his own mobile "doctor's office," AKA a converted ambulance, to the owners of the dog, Sugar.
Sugar was a 6-year-old chihuahua that was having trouble delivering her puppies, so "Doctor" Sanchez offered to perform a C-section and spay her while he was at it.
During the procedure, Sanchez apparently removed a stillborn puppy and charged the owners $600. However, the fake doc apparently sewed Sugar up with a normal thread instead of medical-grade stitches.
Sugar was taken to an emergency pet hospital the following week, on May 25, after falling ill from an infection.
Doctors discovered her surgical incision was closed with a string or thread and not the standard suture material. CCSO believes this could have contributed to her infection.
Sugar died later that night from multiple complications from the surgery, according to the report.
