An Attorney could have a field day with this.
Libel, slander, defamation of character, maybe violation of some type of privacy laws in telling everyone about it.
That is the lowest of the low, to accuse a person of wrongdoing, have no proof, then tell others who have no business knowing.
My blood is not boiling, but my respect for the management who is doing this has reached a new low.
Have them do an Autopsy ASAP, it could determine an approximate time of death. It could be determined to be a timeframe before you were ever on the road. Then the company would have ALOT of explaining to do!
If the dog is no longer available, an Attorney could make it tampering with evidence?
He or She could also ask why an Autopsy was not done to establish time of death since based upon their own investigation there was no evidence of you being the culprit.
Based on no evidence to establish you at fault, why di they feel giving co-workers selective information about which was not proven to be true and naming you specifically?
Sorry folks, I am a lover dogs and cats and it is sad to see a person so wrongly accused.
Sorry for the rambling, I am going to give my kitty and puppy an extra hug!.
