NC appeals court rules in dead dog case
Nancy and Herb Shera of Wilmington sued North Carolina State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2009, seeking more than $28,000 in damages after their dog, Laci, died following a botched tube feeding.
In a 20-page ruling issued Tuesday, the appeals court unanimously upheld an earlier ruling by the N.C. Industrial Commission, which decides compensation claims involving state agencies. The state commissioner had awarded the Sheras $2,755 for vet bills plus $350, the estimated cost for a new dog of the same breed.
Nancy Shera said she was insulted by the $350 valuation of her beloved pet.
“Laci had her own unique, distinct personality,” Nancy Shera said. “She brought so much joy to our lives. She was a part of our family. You cannot replace Laci.”
The Sheras bought Laci as a puppy in 1994 for $100. The couple, who has two grown children, quickly formed a strong bond with the dog.
Herb Shera, a retired U.S. Customs Service employee, has serious heart problems. When he had a bout of angina that left him unable to call for help, Laci ran to get Nancy, who called 911, she recalled.
