His son was managing a dog kennel when the AC went out in the kennel, killing the dogs, then lied to their owners that the dogs ran away.

"Flake’s son was involved in a dog fighting scandal in Arizona where over 20 dogs were found DEAD..I say investigate the whole damn Flake family"

Is that the case where they were supposed to be taking care of the dogs, and at some point the air conditioning system died, and nobody discovered the dogs until they had all died? Or is this a different case?

Actually, I just googled this the other day. Flake’s son Austin and his wife at the time were staying at her parents house while they went on vacation to Florida. The in-laws ran a doggie daycare in their home, with over 20 dogs staying there at the time. Overnight, they kept all those dogs together in a 9 x 12’ room with only 1 vent. The AC failed overnight and several of the dogs were dead by morning, with all but 2 surviving by the end of the day. One of those 2 died at the vet’s office and the other ran away and got hit by a car. The in-laws were notified and starting lying to the dog owners about how they died, but eventually they plead guilty to 1 felony each. Austin and his wife got off scot-free AFAIK, even tho it happened under their watch. 🤬
