When Jocelyn Lobos-Segura dropped off her dog Mona at District Dogs Monday morning, she had no idea it’d be the last time. Heavy storms flooded the doggy daycare, trapping Mona and several other dogs in over 6 feet of water. Mona had just turned one years old. She loved daycare and had been going for about two months.
“She died in that tragedy without me around, without help, that really hurt,” Lobos-Segura said.
