Kyera and Dozer Boy were indoor dogs. They went into the backyard three times a day, about 20 minutes at a time, and that was about it.
On the morning of Aug. 8, they didn’t come back.
Toxicologists are now testing to see if the two Firestone dogs, found dead in their backyard that day, were poisoned. The case is under investigation by the Firestone Police Department, who said a “person of interest” has been identified.
The dogs’ owners, Travis and Tesla Dougherty, moved from Greeley to Firestone on July 22. Kyera, a German shepherd from the animal shelter, and Dozer Boy, a chocolate Labrador given by a friend, were part of the family for about seven years.
“They both would lick you to death before doing anything else,” said Tesla Dougherty.
