PORTLAND, Oregon (Reuters) - An Oregon man has filed a $1.6 million "loss of companionship" claim against a neighbor who ran over his family's 13-year-old dog, Grizz.
Raymond Weaver ran over the golden retriever and cocker spaniel mix in 2004 with a pick-up truck, forcing the owner, Mark Greenup, to have the animal euthanized, according to a lawsuit by Greenup.
Greenup, whose claim is usually reserved for the loss of a spouse, says the dog provided each member of his family with solace, affection, friendship, love and protection.

This story will spark some of your memories as you recall my terrible tea-spilled-on-the-computer incident and the man trying to console me with his own personal story of running over a dog that week.
I seriously laughed out loud when I read this.
I suppose it's true - at least I didn't run over someone's dog. The computer only would've cost a couple of thousand dollars. Haha.
