I'm not blaming the kennel, as I have no idea of the circumstances of the dog's departure. I just wondered whether the city might try to hold them financially liable. Depends on the terms of the boarding contract, probably.
We had to put our mastiff Tinker and our minpin Bebe in a kennel for 4 days when we moved, in January this year.
We called every day to check on them, 2nd day they told us Tinker was depressed and wouldn't eat or drink, so they put Bebe in with him for 24 hours to cheer him up. We had sent their beds and toys with them, too, but he is really attached to us...For a month after we moved, he stayed glued to our sides...
