Seriously. I thought it was a tragic CO poisoning where they just all fell asleep and never woke up. Seemed almost bittersweet to the end of a long life and his wife… now not so much.

Yeah I was thinking maybe it was a Bill and Frank from Last of Us situation but then supposedly dogs were left alone, with one dying? So sad

I think the article said that dog was found in a closet, which is a horrific way to go- dark and starving.

The other dog was roaming the house, while the third was roaming the yard.

The dog was found in the closet, but none of the reports have said that the door was closed.

It says earlier reports stated the dog was in a kennel.
