Speaking to CBS, the Californian claimed: “I took the package and I saw my dog, she couldn’t move anymore.”
The incident was captured on CCTV from her neighbor’s cameras, and footage shows the delivery driver walk up to the gate with the parcel before heaving it over the gate.
The UPS driver then appeared to squat as if he was looking underneath the gate – assuming he heard a noise and was checking to see what it was – before getting in his vehicle and driving off.
UPS told the New York Post that it was aware of the situation and plans to investigate.
Harutjunjan continued: “My neighbors were there. They helped me with the dog to bring her to the Mission Hills clinic. But they said she passed away.”
According to Harutjunjan, the UPS delivery driver, who was dropping off an Amazon package, didn’t even attempt to use her Ring doorbell before deciding to toss the parcel, which weighs around the same as three-and-a-half bowling balls.
Lulu was only rescued by Harutjunjan last year, and before allowing her and Cookie to go outside she told her just how much she loved her.
Speaking to the broadcaster on Thursday, she said: “Yesterday, before I went to let her out, I took her and I said, ‘I don’t know, Lulu, why but I love you so much. That was the last time.”
Harutjunjan has since contacted her attorney as she looks at the possibility of taking legal action against UPS, the delivery driver himself, and Amazon.
