HONOLULU - Two dog owners filed a lawsuit claiming their pets were mutilated while being groomed at an Oahu pet store.
The lawsuit filed in state court Monday said plaintiff Gladys Kapuwai dropped off her dog Dodo for grooming at the Petco store in Kaneohe in July, and that the pet was returned with its ear cut off.
In addition, there appeared to be an effort to "reattach, glue or sew" the ear back on, the lawsuit states.
"I couldn't believe what they did. I started crying because this is our baby, too, you know." Kapuwai told Hawaii News Now.
The plaintiffs claim they suffered serious emotional distress and anxiety, and said they are seeking unspecified damages.
San Diego-based Petco said in a statement that it takes "any animal care concerns very seriously and we're actively investigating these cases."

the headline, at first glance, sounds humorous.
They need to sue though.

Most of the pet store grooming places that I have seen have windows where the owner can observe the grooming process.

Just use super glue, it’ll grow back together. I've done that before to myself - cut my finger with a knife and it kept opening back up. Not really bad enough for stitches.
Same thing happened to me, so I used super glue to close the wound. Three weeks later, I didn't have the cut or the finger.

I’d be very careful about where I took my dogs to be groomed or who groomed them. I pay somebody to come into my house and do it there where I can watch them.
