The Coloradoan reports the training and boarding facility and its owner, Tami Carrasco, were cited Monday by Larimer Humane Society. The school was investigated after owners of a German shepherd said their dog returned from a stay at the facility with injuries that resulted in the surgical removal of its right eye.

Carrasco says it's a horrible accident, but she did nothing to hurt the dog.

A veterinarian from Colorado State Veterinary Teaching Hospital has said the dog's injuries were similar to what a dog might experience from a head-on collision with a car.
