Virginia Man Sues Over Dog Poo

People have sued over fattening foods and hot coffee, and now dog feces can be added to that list. Rober Holloway, 69, is suing PetSmart after supposedly slipping on some dog poo in the store.

According to the lawsuit, the Virginian native suffered back injuries and the loss of four teeth due to the accident. As a result, he is suing the store for $1 million for negligence. He claims it is the store’s and the manager’s fault for allowing dogs to go on the floor and thus creating a hazard.

His attorney, Michael Goodove, did acknowledge however that Holloway had a preexisting back problem. This problem was supposedly made worse by the accident, so much so that he had go in for surgery.

Originally, the lawsuit was filed in Norfolk Circuit Court, but was moved to U.S. District Court by PetSmart. The reason being is that PetSmart had a similar suit against them dismissed in this court in 2008. According to the Associated Press, the store has denied any allegation of negligence.
