Dogs destroy cars at Texas dealership, cause up to $350K in damages
They’ve gone doggone mad!
Two canines have been ripping up vehicles at a Texas auto dealership, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, according to employees.
The dogs terrorized the G Motors dealership on three separate nights between Nov. 6 and Nov. 18, tearing off bumpers and fenders, shocking surveillance footage provided to ABC13 shows.
The pooches alone ravaged five cars, with damages estimated to cost $100,000 to $350,000, sales manager Gaby Fakhoury told the outlet.
“You just never think a dog has the kind of power to tear up a car like that,” Fakhoury said. Another employee said he believed only a wolf could cause such extensive damage before seeing the video.
The dogs can be seen walking on top of cars and seemingly working together to pull off parts of the car with their teeth.
Footage of the first incident shows a cat — which employees believe the dogs may have been after.
Fakhoury said the incidents have left workers terrified, and is worried it could keep people away from his business.
“Nobody wants to leave their cars anymore. They want to make sure they get straight into the office. They’re so scared,” he told ABC13.
The dealership has filed a report with the Houston Police Department, but they’ve been told there is nothing the police can do as it is a civil matter unless the dogs have attacked a human.
“We don’t want to wait until someone really gets hurt,” Fakhoury said.
They were urged by police to hire a private investigator to track down the dogs’ owner, if they have one, whom they could sue for damages.
Employees believe that the dogs are getting into the fenced-in dealership through a small gap.
The dealership is moving to a new location next month — hopefully far from the destructive dogs.
