However, tragedy awaited the pooch.
When the family demanded answers about Cha Cha and the clinic learned about the cover-up, they took the dog back from the worker and euthanized her, Cha Cha’s owner Rebecca Belote told WSB-TV.
Belote and her family loved Cha Cha, but the dog was suffering organ failure from diabetic keto acidosis, Belote revealed. Belote said a former Senoia Animal Hospital worker confirmed to her that Cha Cha was never euthanized. Belote has now filed a complaint with the Georgia State Board of Veterinary Medicine, WSB-TV reported.
Cha Cha was just four years old. She was actually taken home by a female employee. The dog owner then alerted the vet clinic. She alleged that the hospital then put Cha Cha down to cover up what happened.
In March 2026, Senoia Animal Hospital Coweta County advised the Belote family to consider euthanisa.
However, the hospital denied the allegations, according to WSB-TV.
