@wmcactionnews5: A local man is suing Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) after a member of the utility’s Revenue Protection Team shot and killed his dog back in September. Attorney Kevin Snider filed the suit Thursday on behalf of McGarah, whose four-year-old dog, “Snow,” was fatally shot in the front lawn of his North Shelby County home on the morning of Thursday, Sept. 10. McGarah’s suit alleges the utility violated Tennessee’s “T-Bo Law,” a first-of-its-kind law in the U.S. that allows pet owners to sue for up to $5,000 in damages if their pet is wrongfully killed by another person or another person’s animal. Meanwhile, MLGW provided Action News 5 with a statement Friday in response to the suit’s filing, saying the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office determined the shooting was justified. #MLGW #utilities #community #news #pet #utilitytheft #t-bolaw #shelbycounty #tennessee #memphis #topstory

$5,000 that’s it. My dogs are family. I was literally going to take my own life and my dog crawled in my lap and stopped me. So that amount of money wouldn’t cover shit for pain and suffering.

Pet owners need to be held accountable, more people need to start suing irresponsible pet owners as well.
