RE: Sentimental Value on a Pet's Worth
This is the second time I have heard something like this happen. One was about a dog who she left at the veterinarian. I believe the dog needed to be groomed, but when she got back, they informed her that they had accidentally killed her dog.

And what was she to do. Even if she sued the clinic (assuming she lived in Texas), all she'd get would be payment for damages (equivalent to the dog's physical worth). So there lies the question on whether a bill on the dog's emotional worth should be written.

According to Texas' sentimental value rule, if a property was wrongfully destroyed (even though it does not have a value), the party involved could sue. Unfortunately, this rule did not include dogs either. So there lies question whether pets, who are part of families, should have as many rights(and much more) as our property.
