Robin Starr has been an outspoken critic of NFL quarterback Michael Vick for leading a cruel dogfighting ring. Vick acted despicably, then served his time in prison.

But today Starr is dealing with a cruel twist of fate.

A 16-year-old family dog died in the back seat of her car last week after being left there for four hours on a hot day in Richmond, Va.

Let's be clear: By all accounts so far, this was an accident that could have been avoided.

Starr, the CEO of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, says she didn't realize the deaf and blind dog -- named Louie -- was in the car.

That's because her husband, Ed, had put the dog in the back seat but failed to tell his wife. The dog died of kidney failure.

Already, internet message boards are full of hateful comments about Starr. Some try to equate the accident involving her dog with the Vick dog fighting incidents.

There is no valid comparison at all, and people know it.

Vick knew exactly what he was doing when dogs were mauled or even killed during the dog fights at his home.

Awwwww. the dog was deaf and blind. thats crazy
oh wow, the irony......
There's no comparison but it is ironic. Still a sad situation.
Is sad her dog died, but really 4hrs is a long time to leave anyone in a locked car...this is so twisted, it reminds me of a saying "never spit in the sky 'cause it will fall in your face"... my grandma always said.
4 hours in a car - I though we are suppose to treat animals like humans - would you leave your child in the car for 4 hrs. She should have gotten a ticket at least! Just "that’s ok" - where are the signs and the marching activist! I am so confused....
