The dog died two hours after the treatment
An employee of the salon had treated Peltz Beckham and her husband Brooklyn Beckham's pet shortly before she died. Now the couple is holding the man responsible for Nala's death.
This is according to the lawsuit, which is available to the online portal tmz.com and the magazine "People", among others.

"Malicious mistreatment of dogs"
According to the two US media outlets, Nicola Peltz Beckham claims in her lawsuit that the employee had a history of "willful and malicious mistreatment of dogs".
