    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.

        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?
