Owner reunited with “dog-ter” lost at Six Flags

A dog lost at Six Flags has been reunited with its owner after park employees lost track of the animal after removing it from a car in the parking lot.

“I love my dog and with me is the best place for her,” said Shalanon Brooks in an appearance on 97.3 KIRO FM’s Dori Monson Show.

After the incident, many found fault with Brooks for leaving the dog, which was prescribed as an emotional support aid dog, in a parked car in 78 degree heat in the first place.

Brooks admits she didn’t make the best decision for her dog, but says park employees were irresponsible in not keeping tabs on Malibu.

“I guess they took her out of the car and put her in a kennel, and whoever was working I guess left the cage unlocked.”

Brooks told Monson the dog she calls her “dogter.” “She’s always comforted me and been there for everything by my side.”

Brooks said she gave the people that found her dog a monetary reward, but she’s still not sure that Malibu wasn’t taken from the park intentionally.

“I believe that it was a conspiracy,” says Brooks, saying she thinks it might be the case an employee took the dog home, thinking she was an unfit owner.
