Pair Arrested for Allegedly Abandoning Bulldog Reba in Sealed Tub During Extreme 111-Degree Heat, Leading to Death

A chilling series of events culminated in the recent arrests of two individuals, allegedly connected to the distressing case of an English Bulldog named Reba, discovered dead inside a sealed plastic tub in Las Vegas. The disturbing details presented in court have raised significant concerns regarding the treatment of the animal, prompting outrage within the community.

On Saturday, police apprehended Issac Laushaul Jr., 32, and Markeisha Foster, 30, both reportedly facing felony charges for the willful and malicious killing of a dog. During a court appearance on Sunday, Judge Amy Ferreira described the case as “concerning,” revealing alarming allegations from neighbors of the couple. These neighbors allegedly witnessed Reba tied outside their apartment during extreme heat conditions without access to food or water.

The most shocking allegations point to a harrowing incident in July, during which Reba was allegedly confined in a rubber bin in 111-degree temperatures. Judge Ferreira highlighted that the circumstances surrounding Reba’s death are deeply troubling, suggesting a deliberate act of neglect and cruelty by her alleged owners. The court was taken aback by the reported details of the case, which illustrate not only an egregious disregard for the animal’s welfare but also a callous abandonment that led to its tragic demise.

Reba was apparently discovered in critical condition, inside a plastic tote that was taped shut, allegedly left to suffer under the sweltering sun. After being rescued by Paws Patrol LV, she was treated for severe heat stroke but tragically succumbed to cardiac arrest two days later, reportedly due to blood clotting caused by her dire condition.

According to reports, after an extensive investigation and public appeal for assistance, law enforcement officials obtained surveillance footage allegedly depicting Laushaul and Foster in the vicinity of where Reba was found. The footage reportedly showed the couple driving a white four-door sedan and parking near the location, raising further suspicions regarding their involvement.

As the legal proceedings unfold, Laushaul currently remains in custody without bail, having reportedly refused transport to his court hearing. Foster, meanwhile, has had bail set, and court records indicate that should she be released, she would be subject to high-level electronic monitoring and prohibited from having contact with animals.

The community is  relieved by the arrests, with local animal advocates expressing hope that justice will be served. Lindsey Pinapfel, a volunteer with Vegas Pet Rescue Project, emphasized that these developments are a step in the right direction, reflecting the community’s desire for accountability in the face of such profound cruelty.

The investigation continues, as authorities seek to understand the full extent of the circumstances surrounding Reba’s suffering and ultimate death. As the story unfolds, it serves as a stark reminder of the vigilance needed to protect vulnerable animals from alleged neglect and abuse.
