Hog Dogs On Loose Ends Up in Court |
Thursday, July 07 2016 |
Two dog trainers are seeking more than $3 million in damages after they claim a Texarkana truck driver ran over two of their prized hog dogs. Jonathan Jones of Arkansas and Christopher Maxwell of Louisiana allege in their lawsuit filed in the Texarkana Division of the Western District of Arkansas that a Duane Livingston Trucking, Inc. driver plowed through the animals at a high rate of speed. According to the trainers' attorney, the men had formed a team to compete in a hog catching competition by the Arkansas Dog Hunter's Association and were gathering up their dogs when the driver "negligently failed to heed advance warnings of the dogs' and plaintiffs' presence, drove at a high rate of speed through them, striking and killing the dogs." —Source: txktoday.com
