Harley, killed at a doggy daycare center. (Margaret Milne/

Harley, a one year-old Shih Tzu, was going to dress a pumpkin and go trick-or-treating this past Saturday for Halloween. Instead, he was found dead on Friday at a doggy daycare center -- apparently mauled to death by a pack of bigger of dogs, reports the Patriot Ledger.

The doggy day care center is Tails-in-Motion, a business operated by Bill and Karen Powers out of their home in Stoughton, Massachusetts, reports the Boston Herald. On Friday, it appears that little 20-pound Harley was left alone -- without human supervision -- in the backyard of home with a "golden retriever, two greyhounds and the Powers’ mixed-breed mutt for an unknown amount of time," reports the Boston Herald. Harley was rushed to an animal hospital, but was pronounced dead from multiple puncture wounds. "It was unclear which of the dogs attacked him," reports the Boston Herald.

Harley's owners are, understandably, devastated.

“We wanted him to be outside and have fun. Now we just can’t get over the guilt of how he died,” Harley’s owner, Margaret Milne, told the Boston Herald. “He was the most precious thing."
