The small pub was described as a sweet dog who slept beside Adeson and his puggle
Adeson got Bucky in 2019 to serve as a companion to Sandy, his 13-year-old puggle who was fighting cancer. Adeson said he never expected Sandy to outlive Bucky
Adeson told police that Vaughn had been drunk and arguing with him when she grabbed his cellphone and keys and threw them off the balcony.
She then allegedly struck him as he kept asking her to leave before she made a grab for Bucky.
Adeson said he was screaming in shock and pushed her out his apartment as he made a desperate dash downstairs.
‘It’s like a blur,’ Adeson told reporters as he recalled the incident. ‘I’m devastated.’
He said he was sobbing as he held his dog in his arms when passersby called the police. Vaughn had allegedly locked her self in her condo, two floors below Adeson’s, when officers arrived.
During the press conference, Adeson broke into tears multiple times as he described Bucky as a sweet pup who was a companion to Adeson’s puggle, Sandy, who was going through cancer in 2019.

‘Never thinking in a million-years that Sandy would survive the cancer and still be alive at 13 and actually outlive Bucky. That’s the tragedy of it,’ Adeson told Fox 13.
He said Vaughn was ‘evil’ and that he got a restraining order filed against her since they live in the same building.
Adeson’s attorney, Katherine Neal, said in a statement, ‘Our client saw this happen, and is absolutely traumatized.
‘Several residents of the building witnessed the event as well, and the entire community is extremely upset over what happened.’
