OT**John, Good to hear from you. Your story does not surprise me. At the very least, the owner of the deceased pet is due a fair and reasonable amount to settle the estate of his canine. I assume that this pup had at least one or two credit cards, with outstanding balances that need to be repaid. Of course, pet burials are not typically insured -- though, I think Hillenbrand is exploring this as an avenue for future growth. Unfortunately, the cost of embalming, caskets, funeral services, and a burial plot (probably in excess of $10,000, depending on the location of the plot and the craftsmanship of the casket) would flow right through to the human. In the end, I would assume that the owner is in need of (errr, entitled to) financial restitution in the range of $10,000 to $25,000 depending on the magnitude of the outstanding balances on the credit cards (in case you are wondering, dogs are usually extended pretty significant credit due to their intense loyalty and fastidious grooming of even the most undesirable regions of their anatomy). --Duker
