Dear Editor, Five weeks ago my dog was killed in the parking lot of Walmart in Kingman. I was in the store and was unaware that this had happened. A stranger took his corpse to a veterinary hospital. They were in contact with my sister in Oceanside, California because of information on the chip.  Three hours later she informed me that he had passed away.
