The owner wanted to put the dogs outside, and Pickles wanted to attack Raffie.”She then shared the most painful part of the incident:“But, Raffie immediately fell dead to the ground. Heart attack. Died. The owner of the daycare immediately did CPR on Raffie. Pickles wanted to attack further, so Odin stepped in. Odin is Raffie’s best friend, and he protected him.
Odin almost died. They managed to put Pickles away, to fight him off, but Raffie was no more. Raffie is dead. I can’t believe it.
