My car was hooked up to a tow truck and lifted while my dog was inside. The tow truck driver did not contact animal care and control to have them remove the animal prior to this like the law states is required. I then had to pay a fee (over the legal limit for a private towing company) for the man to disconnect my car.
The merits of your case are secondary as to the cost to pursue your case.
Hopefully your doyg is fine and no worse for wear. Hoiwever, dogs are property and valued as such. There is no claim for emotional loss due to the death or injury of a pet.
As for the fee you had to pay and the other conduct to cite, I recommend that you contact the Transportation Cabinet in Frankfort to determine whether you can file an administrative complaint aganst the driver and his company.
