Oh yeah, here's the epitome of true irony to this whole topic:

I had to put one of my hunting dogs down because some idiot kid climbed over my fence into my yard (after being told not to) and got bit. I got sued, and my attorney said I could either pay the damages or put the dog down or fight the good fight in court. No dog I would own is worth going broke over, which was where this was headed, so I lost my dog.

How's that for payback? Fortunately my homeowner's policy covered the poor little hispanic kid's pain and suffering and sent his folks a check for about $3,000. Of course no one was interested in pursuing a trespass action, since the family left about a month after my insurance paid them off. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
