Supreme Court rules on dog property in damages suit
The Supreme Court decision from Washington upholds a Louisiana act treating dogs as personal property only when listed on assessment rolls, voiding damages for a Newfoundland killed by a railroad car. Justice Brown states dogs lack full property rights, unlike horses or cattle, and emphasizes dogs as companion or curiosity objects rather than farm animals.
