Grand?

There must be very few people who don't like their pets. If people are maintaining their domesticated animals, there are positive feelings toward them on some level.

Then there are other people who buy puppy love with animal cosmetic surgical procedures and pet spa treatments. We imagine that Fido enjoys organic treats fit for a king with Evian poured into a crystal water dish.

Finally there are those people who make their pet a full-fledged member of the family -- literally. These folks create trusts for their animal and fight viciously over them in custody proceedings during divorces. But this driver surpasses them all by claiming blood relation, which we don't hesitate to categorize as, well, illegal.
