Small dog, small claim

A dog owner is looking to take a supermarket chain to the Small Claims Court after his dog was injured while jumping to pull the supermarket’s advertising leaflet from the letter box. The dachshund Muffin suffered injuries resulting in surgery. The owner is said to be claiming £2,300 in vet’s bills and legal expenses. The owner told reporters: ‘I am not going to let sleeping dogs lie. I have got too much money buried in this and I am not going to let it go.’
