Since it became de rigeur to hate on Wall Street, one of the most common refrains we hear about are financial services employees’ abuse of animals. “Goldman Sachs clubs baby seals in the basement of 85 Broad” this, “bankers kick puppies and have a good laugh about it” that. Well look who the sick fucks are now.
A high-powered Manhattan duo’s beloved French bulldog died after heartless dog sitters let him overheat in the back of a van and then dumped him — to perish alone — at their Upper West Side apartment, according to the suit. Bankers Laura Garner and Robert Hardon entrusted their 5-year-old pooch, Percy, to caretakers at Queens- based Doggie Love for one night in July 2009 while they were out of town, the suit says. “From the instant I saw Percy . . . I knew he was the one,” a devastated Garner wrote in an affidavit, recalling the start of her love affair with her pet.
But that affection wasn’t shared by Doggie Love, says the suit filed by the couple in Queens Supreme Court yesterday.
One worker drove the dog — whose breathing and ability to regulate heat were already limited because he was a “flat-faced” breed — from Astoria to the couple’s apartment on West End Avenue in the back of an enclosed Econoline van, the suit says. The employee then dropped off the obviously ailing Percy inside the empty apartment — despite the building’s doorman and a federal judge who lives next-door asking if they could get the dog water or call a vet, according to the papers. Percy was discovered dead, splayed out in front of an air conditioner, a few hours later.
“The emptiness that has been left by Percy’s death and the anguish we suffered has not and will never be filled or go away,” the couple said in the lawsuit, which seeks at least $1 million in damages.
Doggie Death Suit [NYP]
Did she fall in love with Hardon the instant he popped into her life?
“…Garner wrote in an affidavit, recalling the start of her love affair with her pet”.
What kind of love affair was it?
“The emptiness that has been left by Percy’s death and the anguish we suffered has not and will never be filled or go away,”
apparently $1 mil. is what it takes to ease their depsite their statement to the contrary.
but, I have a solution: http://www.perpetualpet.net
if they want to save money, they can do it themselves:
1.Step 1
Euthanize the dog that is to be preserved through taxidermy. Be sure to do this in a way that will not mangle the dog’s body or face. Lethal injection by a veterinarian is best.
2.Step 2
Remove the skin of the dog with a skinning tool. This can be purchased at your local taxidermy shop or online from Wildlife Artist Supply Company. Be gentle with the removed skin. Do not allow it to rip or tear in any way because you will be using it again for the final taxidermy product.
3.Step 3
Dip the remains of the dog in a plaster of Paris solution to make a mold of his body. When dipping the dog be sure to keep him in the shape that the final product is to be like. Plaster of Paris is a permanent casting solution that will take the shape of whatever it is coating. When the casting is dry remove the dog’s dead body gently so the plaster of Paris does not crack.
4.Step 4
Make a mold of the dog using papier-mâché or fiberglass. If using papier-mâché be sure to use a thick layer strong enough to hold the skin that was previously removed.
5.Step 5
Glue marbles to the mold for eyes. Add the original teeth back to the mold as well. Place the previously removed skin back on the mold and be sure it fits. Once in place you can glue the skin on the mold.
6.Step 6
Set Fido in your favorite corner of the room so he will always be remembered. Feel free to pet him from time to time.
…..yes I am going to hell
Don’t jump to conclusions about flat-faced breeds. That kind of thinking fucked us in Vietnam.
yes, but how did it taste?
Didn’t this happen in Rent? As sung by Angel in the insant classic Today 4 U?
“It was my lucky day today on avenue A when a lady in a limousine drive my way she said darling be a dear havent slept in a year. I need your help to make my neighbors yappy dog dissapear.”

Wow, you are all sick and tasteless. Grow up.

Me love hardon long timw
Wonder if she smiles and then blows the hardon.
@2 TL, DR….But! this is where i thought u were going with it….
“…Garner wrote in an affidavit, recalling the start of her love affair with her pet………..The emptiness that has been left by Percy’s death and the anguish we suffered has not and will never be filled or go away,”
That Hardon must be pretty inadequate to be unable to fill that empty hole…..that was left by Percy’s death.
@3 – well played, sir.
@3 Priceless
well, they are no longer high pwered bankers. what a joke they are – probably now looking to do a reality show staring HardON.
