BuddysMom Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 This was inspired by DogLover's thread "Faith" ... sorry it's a bit long OK Court knows this story because before I got Buddy I fell in love with a Foxhound named Lily at the pound ... to make a long story short she wouldn't have worked out for us but nonetheless I was in love with her and have been watching Petfinder almost every day to see if she'd get adopted ... well waaay too long passed and she still wasn't adopted, then about 2 days ago I checked and she was listed as adopted in the Happy Tails section! Here's the link to her original listing, I hope it works, I took the pictures and e-mailed them to the shelter because the one they had was awful) http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action=2&pet=3301421&adTarget=468petsgeneral&SessionID=416c428248eb2901-app2&display=&preview=1&row=25&tmpl=petlistx.html&stat= I wanted details so I went down there surreptitiously to buy one of their 2005 calendars and got a little better scoop on Lily (a college age girl who was very into dogs and seemingly knowledgable ... and when Lily left everyone who worked there cried happy tears because she was really close to being PTS) ... so there's a happy story for you all ... (By the way Foxhound Rescue, who weren't able to help, told me Lily was probebly a Treeing Walker Coonhound not Foxhound but...whatever...) ANYWAY as I was waiting in line there was a lady picking up her dog (a Sharpei?) who had been picked up running loose, and as soon as she signed saying it was her dog they issued her a citation to appear in court ... the dog had been loose on the highway and caused a man to swerve and roll his vehicle (!) ... they told the lady she may be responsible for medical and vehicle repair costs. She looked pretty resigned about the whole thing but I would have been freaked, not saying she didn't deserve it ... But I was wondering on a technical point if this would all have to come out of her own pocket, or if her auto insurance would cover it, or homeowners insurance or what?! Anyway just a weird story, any comments are welcome ... In the end the calendars were late from the printer so I have to go back... Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 hmm good question. I do not have a correct answer, but, because she was not in her vehicle and the dog was not on her property...I am guessing it will come straight from her pocket. Quote
BuddysMom Posted October 12, 2004 Author Posted October 12, 2004 Thanks B Bop, by the way if you're interested I edited the post to include a link to Lily's pictures (her original Petfinder listing). Sounds like this dog may be costiong this woman a HUGE fortune! Still if it were me ... no matter what amount of money (and despite the fact that I have none to speak of) I would just be happy to have my dog back unhurt, and hoping that the man who rolled his vehicle wasn't hurt either!

courtnek Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 she's a mix. She has Foxhound and coonhound in her. she looks more like the TWC though. she's a little thin, but they want me to keep Laurel thin too. as far as the accident...it all depends on if this lady has a 'record' of leaving her dog loose. She could argue that the dog escaped, and she tried to get it back, yada yada yada. I'd have to verify with an insurance company, but I believe Homeowners policies consider dogs "property" so they might cover it. It may never be necessary though. Unless it can be proved that she let this dog roam it's likely she wont be convicted. Quote
