Jeffrey Kent Levine was at a loss when his best friend and constant companion Rudy died just after Christmas 2002.

Levine sued the doctor in Jefferson County Circuit Court, claiming negligence and seeking damages for pain and suffering. The catch: Rudy was a golden retriever being treated by a veterinarian for a pulled tendon and the dog was named as a plaintiff in the lawsuit.

A better way to deal with the pain might be to grieve, then go down to the local shelter and adopt a new dog.

Yeah, but can you convince a dog of that?
