A Nova Scotia woman is sharing a warning with other pet owners after tragically losing her dog last week. When Deborah Lewis arrived home the evening of June 17, she knew right away something was wrong. “Usually, Lexie was out and about free, so she wasn’t at the gate to greet me, and when I came upstairs, she wasn’t in her usual spot,” she said. Lewis continued into the house, which is where she found her nearly 12-year-old dog Lexie had suffocated after getting her head stuck in a chip bag.
