The Texas Supreme Court loves puppies just as much as most people do.
But despite issuing a unanimous opinion that memorializes the world’s love for canines complete with quotes from Lord Byron and Aldous Huxley about that very topic the high court will not allow anyone to recover "emotion-based" damages for the loss of a dog in Texas. That’s according to the April 5 ruling in Carla Strickland v. Kathryn and Jeremy Medlen.
