New Delhi: The pet dog of the Chundawat family, whose 11 members were found dead at their home under mysterious circumstances, has died at an animal shelter home in Noida due to “shock”, an animal rights activist said today. Tommy, as he was referred to by his owners, was tied to a grill, before the family members allegedly committed suicide.
Sanjay Mohapatra, a Noida-based animal rights activist, was taking care of the dog, an Indian pitbull mix breed aged above seven, who had shown signs of improvement and had gained weight since the tragedy came to light on July 1. “He had food around 4 pm. He was playing around and was taken for a walk by one of our employees around 5 pm. As Tommy was entering the gate after his walk, he suddenly collapsed. We brought him inside and the doctor examined him but he died,” Mohapatra said.
