Buffalo, NY (WBEN) A Tonawanda veterinarian who admitted to trying to conceal the identity of a missing dog will receive a one year conditional discharge.
47 year old Kimberly Parkhill-Brown admitted to falsifying office business records. Back in 2024, prosecutors say a Yorkshire terrier went missing from a woman's home in Niagara County. That same day she received call from a veterinarian's office in the City of Tonawanda saying the dog had been found by someone who brought the dog into the office to be scanned for a microchip. The victim then received a second call, notifying her that her dog “Benji” was no longer at the office after being discharged to the people who brought him in.
Parkhill Brown admitted to making false entries into the patient log, with the intent to defraud, by intentionally changing the reason for the visit from “dog found in the woods” to “itchy skin". and by changing the dog's gender from “male” to “female spayed.
”She later falsified business records to change the name of dog, removed the microchip, replacing it with another and removing identification that would determine the rightful owner. The dog was later returned to the victim. Parkhill Brown must also write a letter of apology to the owner of the dog, pay $1,000 in restitution to cover any ancillary medical bills for the dog and perform 100 hours of community service in the Native American community.
