I found this article quite interesting. It talks about a placing sentimental value on a pet who was accidentally euthanized.
Quote:Days later, the Medlens were happy to hear Fort Worth Animal Control had found their beloved pet and they could come by to pick him up.
"When Jeremy and his two small children went to go pick up Avery, they were told they accidentally killed him the day before," said Medlen's attorney, Randy Turner. Source
I think the Medlen's plight to make society aware of the emotional value of our pets is commendable.
Furthermore, I wouldn't want to entrust a person who's accidentally euthanized a pet to be working in such establishments. Having dogs included in the sentimental value rule can impose stricter procedures in dog pounds. After all, these are still lives we are talking about.
