For Rose Van Bakel, a resident of Melbourne's east, the death of her Chihuahua Bambi on January 2nd was a distressing shock. 

Residents of the small town were left shocked and heartbroken upon hearing that a beloved Chihuahua belonging to a local woman had been poisoned. The incident occurred last week when Ms. Bakel returned home from work to find her cherished pet in distress.

Despite rushing the Chihuahua to the veterinarian, it was too late to save her. The veterinarian confirmed that the pup had been deliberately poisoned with a toxic substance.

Ms. Bakel is understandably devastated by the loss of her beloved companion. She is urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
