A devastating accident at Hudson House Apartments left one man in hysterics and a beloved dog dead—all because of a freak mishap with a closet door. “I JUST KILLED MY DOG!” Calls flooded Portsmouth Police around 7 PM, with terrified residents reporting a man screaming in the hallway, claiming he had just killed his own dog. Witnesses peered into an apartment and saw the lifeless pup lying on the floor. When officers arrived, they found the heartbroken man struggling to explain what had happened.
