ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WUSA) -- What happens if you take your dog to a kennel and it escapes, never to be seen again. Who's at fault? It's a question that was put before a District Judge in Annapolis Thursday afternoon.
The court battle has been brewing for over three years. In November 2008, the plaintiffs, Joseph and Sharon Donzanti, boarded their miniature greyhound at the Dogwood Acres Pet Retreat before flying out of town. The next evening, they called the kennel to check in on 10-month-old Deano.
"There was a pause and a long hold and then all of a sudden they said, 'Your dog has been missing since early this morning," remembers Joseph Donzanti.
The Donzantis flew home on the next flight and drove straight to Dogwood Acres. The couple has no children, so they say they treated Deano like their own child.

They could at least have apologized for losing the dog.
this is one sided reporting at its finest. The people alledge that there was no apology but that doesn't make it true.
This is a terrible injustice. The
couple left their dog at a kennel
and trusted them to take care of their pet in their absence. This is a service they were paying good money for. Then they return and their dog is gone. I think the kennel is totally responsible for all the animals in their care. If something happen to one of the dogs the owners of the kennel are responsible and should pay for their mistake. It appears to me they were totally negligent by not watching the dog while he was outside. They should really pay the owners for the dog. I bet they lose a lot of business over this incident. I know I wouldn't take my dog there.
