Library Cat Attacks Assistance Dog; Dog Owner Sues City
Library Cat, or L. C., attacked a man’s assistance dog, Kimba, in 2000. The man is now suing the city for disability discrimination because he thinks the city “interfered with his admittance to and enjoyment of the library” and took steps to deny his right to bring Kimba into the library. L. C. had attacked two other dogs previously.
This suit seems so unique that I couldn’t resist posting about it.

Addendum 2/1: The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that a Superior Court jury decided the city did not violate the man’s rights and L. C. did not prevent the dog from doing its job.
