Texas Supreme Court bars sentimental value suits from dog owners

“The Texas Supreme Court ruled on Friday that bereaved dog owners cannot file lawsuits calling for their pets’ sentimental value.  The Dallas Morning News reported on Friday that, per the ruling, dog owners can only be legally compensated for the market cost of their pets.  ‘Under Texas common law, the human-animal bond, while undeniable, is uncompensable,’ Justice Don R. Willett wrote in the court’s unanimous decision, which reversed a ruling by the state 2nd Court of Appeals in Fort Worth.”
