Court to Decide Value of a Dog’s Love

Vermont’s highest court is being asked to decide what a dog’s love is worth. The state Supreme Court on Thursday was to hear a case that began in July 2003, when Denis and Sarah Scheele, who were visiting relatives, let their mixed-breed dog wander into Lewis Dustin’s yard and he fatally shot it. Now the Scheeles are asking the court to carve out a new legal doctrine that a dog’s owners can sue for emotional distress and loss of companionship, just like parents can when they lose children.
