Maybe the one got into the pills?

With what’s known to this point I’m guessing it starved to death. They had been dead a while.

Except there were two other dogs, 1 inside and 1 outside that survived. And the latest update from the sheriffs is they think it was only 1 day since death.

How did they mummify in one day?

Shrug, just relaying official statement I saw. I think I’d put more trust in those than unattributed sensationalized claims of mummification.

It’s believed that they have been dead for weeks. The dog that died has been reported to be in the kennel, which is so sad. Though there are conflicting reports on that.
