A distraught California dog owner was put on suicide watch for a second time after her German Shepherd Zeus was euthanized Friday morning - months after being locked up for biting a stranger and the cop who came to seize him.
Faryal Kabir's 16-month-old puppy Zeus had been locked up and placed in isolation at Elk Grove Animal Shelter since the dog was seized by animal control officials on July 15, 2022 after it was deemed dangerous.
Lawyers Andrew Shalaby and Christine Kelly had prevented the dog from being euthanized twice, but during their third attempt to release the dog after a 105-day lock up the dog was killed.
On Friday, an email was sent to both attorney's informing them that the dog was 'euthanized humanely.'
Faryal Kabir, slot zeus attorney Andrew Shalaby went to his client's home hours after the execution to share the harrowing news.

A member of the Kabir family told DailyMail.com that they had zero warning that Zeus had been killed and they had no time to prepare their loved one.
They said she locked herself in her bedroom threatening to kill herself.

'The whole family was terrified,' he said.
'They took her out in handcuffs. They were so cruel to her. You can never imagine. No one was sympathetic. No one cared. All they did was take the report.'
Kabir remains in hospital and is sedated on tramadol as her lawyers and family fight to get justice for Zeus.
On Friday, the city of Elk Grove issued a release stating that the German Shepherd dog known as Zeus, who was designated as a dangerous animal, was humanely euthanized by the City of Elk Grove consistent with a previously issued administrative order.
'This has been a difficult situation for all involved in this matter, and the City does not take this action lightly,' the release said.
'The City takes its duty to preserve public safety and protect the community very seriously.
While some members of the public asked the City to consider alternatives to euthanasia, the dog's established bite history and dangerous propensities presented too great of a risk to public safety for this community, or any other community to which the animal may have been relocated,' the statement read.
The process that led to today's action began following the first unprovoked attack on a resident on May 16, 2022.
Two administrative hearings were conducted by two separate independent hearing officers on June 8, 2022, and August 15, 2022. The first hearing officer confirmed that the dog was properly designated as a dangerous animal and imposed keeping restrictions for the animal.
The second hearing officer concluded that the owner failed to comply with mandated keeping restrictions, that the dog bit a police officer, and ordered the dangerous animal to be humanely euthanized.
'The courts have consistently ruled in favor of the City in a number of legal challenges on this issue,' the statement said.
'The City delayed euthanasia of the animal for almost two months to allow time for the owner to pursue judicial remedies with the courts, but efforts by the owner in both state and federal court for a stay of the euthanasia or other related relief have been unsuccessful.'
'Continued housing of the dangerous animal was not in the public or the animal's interest.
The humane euthanasia of the dangerous animal was necessary and appropriate in this instance.
