Dog Death Prompts Malpractice Suit

To Ellen Riff and her son Adam, their dog Lucky was more than a pet. 

"I actually thought of him as my baby, not just a dog," she says. 

Adam says Lucky was the little brother he never had. 

"He'd take a toy, play with it and put it back in when he was done," says Adam. 

Lucky brought moments of happiness during a bitter divorce and comfort after the death of Riff's mother. 

"It's really hard to describe in words what he meant, because I loved him so much," says Adam. 

So when the 8-year-old sheltie visited his local vet for a routine tooth extraction and ended up dying a day later, the Riffs vowed to fight not only for their suffering -- but also for Lucky's.
