If you've got time to do some reading today, might I suggest Luke O'Brien's enteraining article in SF Weekly entitled, "San Francisco Dog Court".

For 12 years, Sgt. Bill Herndon has presided over the Dog Court, and has heard a lot of memorable cases, such as the one involving the pit bull and the breast implant:

What makes the case unusual is an injury the retriever's owner suffered in the struggle to break up the dogs: She ruptured a breast implant. Now the woman and her husband want to find Richard Scott and make him pay for replacing the implant. And although it's well beyond the scope of the court, they want Herndon's help. In fact, they're demanding it.

"We don't really care what you do with [the dog]," the husband shouts, stepping up to the dais that serves as the judge's bench and slamming down a folder like a cheap TV barrister. "I gotta take care of my medical bills!"

The seven-page article goes on to describe other cases while shedding light on the problems faced in San Francisco.
