Of course there's an investigation--the article mentioned the reporter meeting someone from the board when they went out, but they wouldn't/couldn't comment on anything. As for the escaping thing, that doesn't take long--certainly wouldn't expect it to take an hour unless the pup had to dig a new hole under the fence. since the article mentioned that there were no holes found, i'd be more suspicious of a loose board or gap, or as i said before, following the woman out the gate when she left. Sure, it's possible that the vet went into the yard and took the pup, but I was trying to play devil's advocate here :P No argument that de-barking the dog was a weird and not easily justifiable thing to do. I expect the guy will get some sort of suspension of his license and/or a loverly fine. I wasn't trying to say that i think the guy was spot-on, I was just pointing out some things that made me cringe about the whole situation.
