Crossing the Line In Boston?
/Falco K9 is a full-service dog care, training, and boarding program located in South Boston.
The company came under scrutiny after a dog that was stay at the facility collar was stuck in the cage the dog was boarded in.
When an employee sent a text message about the poor dog, the owner and other employees mocked the dog and his condition.
Tyler Falconer is the owner of Falco K9, and his wife is WCVB Anchor Katie Thompson.
Thompson got involved in the investigation of potential animal abuse by reaching out via text to the person that was trying to help the dog.
The website tbdailynews.com says that Thompson used her status as a WCVB reporter to contact a local salon in an attempt to force them to fire a former client who had left a negative comment about Katie’s involvement at Falco K( on WCVB’s Instagram account.
While Thompson is trying to stick up for her husband and his business, it also appears she is using her weight as a TV Anchor to contact people that have raised issues with Falco K9.
A look at Twitter shows that viewers feel Thompson has crossed the line and WCVB doesn’t seem to care.
A Google search shows that Falco K9 is now listed as permanently closed.
No word on if any action was taken against the company.
As for WCVB, they must know that these events took place…..Right?
