Lawsuit Bites Back Print
Wednesday, November 05 2014

A family is suing a local pet store after claiming their daughter was injured by one of the store's puppies.

Lori Dewey of Toledo, Ohio, is suing The Family Puppy store for $25,000 in damages. In her lawsuit filed in Lucas County Common Pleas Court, Dewey says her 14-year-old daughter, Brandi, was left unsupervised with a Labradoodle puppy in a pen inside the store. During that time, the puppy allegedly jumped on Brandi, tearing her sweatshirt, and then bit her calf. The lawsuit claims that the scratch caused bruising and swelling and left a scar that Brandi is self-conscious about.

The owners of the store declined to comment, and the Dewey's attorney said they have received no response from The Family Puppy store following the filing of an incident report.
