But coolant leaks typically aren’t happening the same time some one is dog sitting or whatever.
If they lived together, I suspect it wouldn’t be so hard to believe it was an accident; but randomly having a radiator leak the same time your dog sitting? Or the dog is visiting?
I had a neighbor who worked on cars in his driveway. Several neighborhood cats died before people realized what was going on. This was back in the 90s, though, and I don’t see so many outdoor cats nowadays.
Let’s just be honest here and recognize that wasn’t an accident. He may not have intended to harm animals; but he was intentionally releasing toxic substances into the environment.
(Illegally, I might add.)
It’s one thing if you have a burst radiator hose or something where you can’t easily clean it.
Didn’t survive. Radiator coolant and dog feces. Veterinarian that put him down told me.
yeah why tell the people that the person works for ?
anyways thank you all for the answers.
But you didn’t answer the most important question - was it done on purpose or was it an accident?
I’m sorry for your loss. I would get the police involved.
Are you saying they put radiator coolant in dog feces and got the dog to eat the feces?
Radiator fluid tastes sweet to dogs, they’ll drink it happily if it’s provided. It’s one of those things that assholes who kill dogs tend to know.
Same for cats.
It’s a horrible way to kill an animal, and it’s hard to imagine the pooch having access to radiator fluid accidentally.
Coolant leaks kill a lot of pets and strays. It sounds like OP’s story was intentional, but it does happen by accident.
They do.

It’s something else if it’s a regular occurrence.
Regardless of what your next steps are, I’m sorry for your loss.
