However I know now, she has absolutely no schooling,” Dion said.Īccording to local law, no groomer requires a pet grooming education, a fact that doesn’t sit well with the Gulf Coast Humane Society Executive Director Gary Willoughby. “I thought she was a very well-qualified groomer because she portrayed herself that way to me. “I still cry daily over the fact that she’s gone.” In its lawsuit, the family quotes the groomer as saying “Piper fell off the table.”

“She came back in the door with Piper and Piper’s neck was broken,” Dion said. In September, the family hired Bow Wow Boutique to visit their home to groom Piper.īut less than 10 minutes after Piper was taken out of their house and into the mobile grooming unit parked outside, tragedy struck. “There was nowhere that we went that Piper didn’t go.” “She went everywhere with us,” said Katherine Dion. Piper was tiny but held a huge place in the hearts of the Dion family. Now, the family is suing Alexis Anderson, the owner of Bow Wow Boutique, a mobile grooming service they had previously used to groom Piper, a 4-pound toy poodle. The groomer said it was an accident, but that doesn’t help the family’s pain.
