Left to ‘suffer & die’

Adorable Bella’s owner says life

“will never be the same” after the

8-year-old pup was found dead.

A Florida worker for the
embattled dog-walking app
Wag is under criminal in-
vestigation for animal cru-
elty after a beloved York-
shire terrier was killed on
her watch, The Post has
learned.
The walker, identified
only as Hannah, took An-
gela Composto’s 8-year-old
pooch, Bella, out on Oct. 20
— and returned with the
pup “nonresponsive and
limp,” according to a Mi-
ramar Police Department
incident report.
“[Hannah] then leaves
Bella in her bed to suffer and
die,” an investigator on the
case alleged in the report.
Composto, a 52-year-old
Long Island native, told The
Post her life “will never be
the same” after trusting
Wag with her dog.
In the minutes, weeks and
months following Bella’s
death, Hannah gave a series
of conflicting stories of
what actually happened to

Bella — first to Composto,

then to Wag and then to her

attorney, who provided a

statement on her behalf to

the cops, the incident report

said.

At around 8:18 a.m. on the

day Bella died, Composto

received an update saying

the stroll went “great.” It in-

cluded a picture of the dog

with her tongue out and tail

wagging, according to

Composto and the police

report.

The update noted that

Bella was “startled” when

another dog, Chloe, chased

after a bird but that both

pups were now back in their

crates and Hannah would

“stay a while” to make sure

Bella was OK.

But Hannah did not “stay

a while,” as she’d promised,

and was captured on Com-

posto’s Ring camera leaving

approximately six minutes

later at 8:24 a.m., the report

says.

About an hour later, a

Wag representative called

Composto to tell her Bella

had fallen and Hannah was

“currently at the home”

even though she was seen

leaving an hour earlier, the

report says.

Hannah’s attorney, Sherri

Romano, called the death an

“accident.”

A spokesperson for Wag

said Hannah was suspended

from the platform following

a “thorough investigation.”

VW: Zero

crashes

by 2050

Volkswagen will launch a

new software system this

year that it hopes will make

accidents involving its cars a

thing of the past by 2050, the

company announced on

Thursday.

Next-generation vehicles

will be equipped with soft-

ware, sensors and processors

that enable vehicles to antici-

pate and avoid accidents and

to keep learning new re-

flexes, the German car

brand’s strategy chief, Mich-

ael Jost, said in Berlin.

“We want to have no more

accidents by 2050,” he said.

The new software-based

vehicle operating system,

which is being launched with

Volkswagen’s new ID:3 elec-

tric cars, will be continually

updated as algorithms im-

prove, Jost said.

The first ID:3 cars will go on

sale in Germany this summer,

and will cost about $27,000

once green-car tax breaks and

incentives are included. It’s

unclear when the cars would

go on sale in the US. Reuters

hat’s the first image thatcomes into

your mindwhen you thinkof wealth

and prosperity? For manyof us, it’s tall,

shining stacks of gold. For families like the

Rockefellers, Carnegies andTiffanys, that

gold took theform of $5 U.S. Gold Liber-

ties, struck by the U.S. Mint in 90% pure

Americangold.

These coins circulated widelyin the late

19th and early 20thcenturies untilPresi-

dent FranklinRoosevelt made private gold

ownership illegal in 1933,resulting in the

meltingof millionsof Gold Liberties. It’s

estimated that less than 10%of all vintage

U.S. gold coins survive.
