Arfee Owner Hires Pet Legal Expert

The owner of a two-year-old Labrador mix shot by a Coeur d’Alene police officer will file claims against the officer and the city in the dog’s death, which a review board said violated department policy for use of deadly force. Craig Jones, the owner of Arfee, has retained a Bellingham attorney, Adam Karp, in the case. “I think everyone, even from the police side in this tragedy, agreed that this is a violation of Mr. Jones’ civil rights,” Karp said in a phone interview Friday. Karp is known for raising the bar on pet compensation. Last year, he obtained a $100,000 settlement for a family whose pet Newfoundland was shot four times with an assault rifle by a Des Moines, Washington, police officer while it was running loose/ Becky Kramer , SR.
