Other than the [url=http://www.google.com/search?q=sheila%20stadler]story[/url] dating back to April this year, there really isn't much else to it.
It was the owner's wish to have the dog euthanised and buried with her. After her death, her son said the dog was mourning and wandering aimlessly, so he then carried out his mother's wish and had it killed and put in her coffin.

depends. i wouldn't care if the dog was genuinely really sad (they really DO get very attached to their owners) and it died a relatively painless death. if not...-blam!- the old woman...(unless she wasn't thinking straight, and really simply want the dog buried with her when it died (naturally)) as well as -blam!- her son.
