Quick upon the heels of losing his wife, Michaele, to Journey guitarist Neal Schon, Tareq Salahi has suffered another loss: His dog died, TMZ.com reports. Rio, a Doberman Pinscher, was done in by the stress, Tareq claims. However, he was on heart meds from a heart attack in the past few weeks.
To add insult to injury (or maybe a third verse?), TMZ also reports that when Tareq tried to bury Rio with a backhoe, the neighbors called the police on him, and the responding officers insisted on seeing the remains to make sure the story checked out. What? Is that supposed to be hard to believe?
Maybe it just wasn't an accident that Michaele, of the White House party crashers and "Real Housewives of D.C.," met up with Schon in Nashville...
