Groomer Accidentally Cuts Off Dog's Ear - Tries To Hide It By Superglueing It Back On

GIG HARBOR, Wash. -- Anni Sheriffius said she was trying to wash off what she thought was dirt on her dog Jasmine’s ear when the ear fell off.

Sheriffius rushed her dog to the veterinarian to learn that the dog’s ear had been cut off by a dog groomer and super-glued back on.

“And I saw the ear float away, and it freaked me out,” Sheriffius said.

Jasimine, a shi tzu, had to undergo treatment for an infection.

Sheriffius said she still has the ear in a plastic bag, and has been crying for weeks at the thought of someone hurting her dog.

Pierce County sheriff’s investigators are looking into possible criminal charges against the unlicensed dog groomer.

“Once they tried to hide it and glued the ear back on, that’s not good for the dog. There are all kinds of things that can happen, infection, it's cruelty to animals,” Det. Ed Troyer said.

The shop where Jasmine was injured, J’Raes Pet Grooming, appears to have shut down, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported.

12. Good thing Vincent Van Gogh didn't have super glue.

Or not.

13. That's even worse than what happened to my cousin's dog.

Berry was at the groomer, who accidentally slammed the door on her tail. Most of the tail had to be amputated.

The dog was fine, but my cousin changed groomers.

The irony is that this happened in Luxembourg, where people don't file lawsuits for everything. Even more ironic is that my cousin's husband at the time was the chief judge for the southern half of the country. Had they chosen to sue, the groomer would have been up shit's creek.

15. Self edit in process

I almost said something inappropriate regarding this situation that would have included the poor dog, an additional canine body part, and Lorena Bobbitt. Good thing I stopped myself in time before I said something crass and offensive.

16. it appears the groomer has skipped town eom

17. Y'know, what really pisses me off is that...

...if the groomer had done the right thing and rushed the dog to an emergency vet immediately, they might have been able to re-attach the ear, although it would have been extremely hard. At the very least, the wound might not have gotten infected.

But instead, they acted like a cowardly little child, hid the mistake, and let the poor dog suffer.
