At first it seemed like a feel-good story: dog is lost and found two months later, though one doubts that the “white witch” and “four psychics” the owner hired were of great help. But a day later the Portland dog owner sued the pet-sitter who lost the dog for $160,000. The lawsuit asks for, among other things, $10,000 for “the temporary loss of the special value of Fremont based on his qualities, characteristics and pedigree.” (Joseph Rose, “Owner sues pet sitter in loss of dog”, Oregonian, Dec. 6). A follow-up story indicates community outrage. (”Street beat”, Oregonian, Dec. 9).
