LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- A Las Vegas woman is heartbroken after her bulldog was reportedly crushed to death by a grooming table at Petsmart.



Vicki Seifert said she brought two-year-old Minni to the store to have a bath and her nails trimmed.



The service doesn't take long, so she took a walk around the store.



Then she noticed employees running toward the grooming area.



"I ran in there, when I went in, she was crushed under a grooming table and they said that they had listened for her heart beat and she was gone," said Vicki.



Seifert said no one at Petsmart can give her a straight answer about what happened.



Petsmart released a statement that said in part, "A tragic accident occurred in our grooming salon. There's nothing more important than the safety of the pets in our care, and we immediately launched a comprehensive investigation."



Seifert said she is waiting for a necropsy report to decide whether she will file a lawsuit.
