Roger's older brother was Fred Bergendorff who founded The Pet Place and hosted a weekly TV show in southern California showcasing animals from shelters for adoption. In one news article I read, early on, a gentleman who'd known Roger his entire life said that Angel had been ill, she needed injections in her hind legs each day or she couldn't walk. Another news article some time back said that Angel needed eye drops four times a day. She was either 13 or 14 years old German Shepherd in poor health when Roger's older brother Fred gave her to him.
Thank goodness for commenters, or I would live in a total vacuum! Thank you for the information.
Original post:
I am in a hold pattern in learning that ricin victim Roger Berdendorff's dog, Angel, was euthanized after being found starving in his hotel room, while Berdendorff was saved. It appears local animal resources were not available to save Angel? This is the link..
A younger brother, Erich Bergendorff of Escondido, Calif., said hospital officials told him Wednesday that his brother was awake and had been told that his beloved dog, Angel, was euthanized after the Humane Society found her starving and without water in his motel room.
This is the first I've heard about Angel, and upon doing a Google keyword search found nothing.

The information about Angel has been available for weeks. Roger's older brother was Fred Bergendorff who founded a The Pet Place and hosted a weekly TV show in southern California showcasing animals from shelters for adoption. In one news article I read, early on, a gentleman who'd known Roger his entire life said that Angel had been ill, she needed injections in her hind legs each day or she couldn't walk. Another news article some time back said that Angel needed eye drops four times a day.

Frankly, I don't know anything more than I've read in the press, but I do know that his cats were not euthanized, maybe they were younger, maybe they had access to food/water - I don't know. I don't mistrust the Humane Society, but I sure wish that an investigative journalist would kindly inform the public HOW THREE PET ANIMALS GO UNNOTICED for two weeks in ANY hotel/motel in America.
That's what irritates me, what kind of place is the Extended Stay anyway?
