Couple Sues City for $206G After Dog Mistakenly Euthanized
Couple Sues City for $206G After Dog Mistakenly Euthanized

DENTON, Texas — A couple whose dog was mistakenly euthanized wants the city to pay $206,000 for the loss, future breeding opportunities and emotional pain.

Shawn Snider and Beth Bayless-Snider say they arrived to pick up their 3-year-old black Labrador mix on May 15 and found out a worker had killed it that morning.

"I'm not going to just let them get away with an apology," he said. "They can't bring my dog back, so the only thing they can do is give me money."
The worker apparently didn't notice an entry on the dog's records indicating the owners would pick it up May 16, said Lt. Lenn Carter of the Denton Police Department, which oversees the shelter. The Sniders arrived to pick up the dog a day earlier than expected.

An investigation is underway and the shelter worker could face discipline, Carter said. He declined to name the worker.

"It was definitely a mistake on our part," he said. "It's a really unfortunate incident, and we're going to take steps [so] that it doesn't happen again."
The Sniders filed a liability claim with the city's risk management department. City spokesman John Cabrales said officials could not comment on a pending claim.

As tragic as that is, and I hope the perpetrator is fired, a judge will probably bump down the reward considerably.

Hmmm....cut right to the chase, huh? I am so sick of frivilous lawsuits. I'm sure that it would suck to find out that your pet was put down mistakenly, and I'd be more than upset about it. But this is ridiculous. To quote a great American .....this makes me madder than a pervert with Palsy trying to draw a vag**a on an Etch-A-Sketch.

That is really sad, but it boils down to the dog wasn't where he should have been, end of story, and lawsuit. It would be just as sad if the dog was run over by a car while he was out roaming, and that wouldn't be the car's fault, but the owner's fault.

Nope......dogs get out of fenced yards, happens all the time. People were apparently responsible enough to claim their dog and set a date to pick it up. City screwed up.....but not $206k worth.

Well that's why I still believe that SOMEBODY should get fired. Well maybe they can eek out compensation. But this is still considered small claims, as much as we think of our pets as "humans". Anybody know the maximum amount a person can receive for something like this?
