Texas, hmmmm? Just last November, [A] Texas appellate court recently ruled that state law entitles the owners of a wrongfully euthanized dog to recover "sentimental" or "intrinsic" damages from a defendant for the loss of the pet.

Would be nice if Officer Friendly were held personally liable for this...

Not all facts in evidence but what are, seems like a good case for wrongful death, doubtless profound sentimental damages to a family- and maybe some lessons can be learned. Procedures scrapped and revamped entirely.
