Court case aims to change NY law on pets after dog killed in Brooklyn

For many people, a dog is more than just a pet -- they're family.

A case is now making its way through the court system, aimed at changing the law after a 4-year-old Daschund was struck and killed while out on a walk in Brooklyn. The dog's owners are suing the driver, arguing their pet wasn't personal property, but rather a beloved member of the family.
