After a neighbor complained that his son's pet donkey was a loud nuisance, Dallas lawyer C. Gregory Shamoun brought the donkey, known as Buddy, into a courtroom to attempt to prove otherwise to a jury. Questions about Buddy's behavior arose in a suit Shamoun filed, accusing neighbor John Cantrell of assault. Cantrell alleged in a counterclaim that Shamoun intentionally interfered with his enjoyment of his property by allowing a burro and a calf to roam freely in Shamoun's backyard.
