"I have complete compassion for them," said Jeffery Ely about the family he sued after killing their dog. Ely had been driving at night on January 4 when Nikki Munthe's dog, Fester, a miniature pinscher, ran out into the road and maliciously hurled his 13-pound body into the front of Ely's Honda Civic.
Ely later sued the Munthe family for about $1,100, which he said was the cost of fixing his bumper and radiator and the time he had to take off from work.
"I know how it feels," he said, not meaning how it feels to be struck and killed by a Honda Civic but rather how it feels to lose a beloved pet. "I love dogs. But once you get them, they are your responsibility." He blamed the family for letting the dog off-leash. (The family filed a countersuit.)
