There was an incident involving our dog and another dog. Theirs was outside with some children and our escaped out the door when one of our children opened it. Short cut to a sad event, our dog thought it was a play toy and picked it up and shook it like a stuffed animal and the other dog died.
We feel horrible and there is really not a lot we can do to make up for it in the since that it is like a child and unreplacable. We did however apologize profusely and offered that when they were ready to have another dog (it was a purebread special type of dog) that we would be more than happy to buy it for them. This was agreed to as fine. (This breed runs approximately $300/$350) Specifically, we know someone that breeds this type of dog and without discount, this is what we would pay. We've already requested a pup to be reserved from the next litter.
Today we received a call from them saying that they are moving out of state and that they want the money - $1500!!!!!!!!!
We've offered to replace the exact same breed but because the woman spent $1500 on this one, that is what she wants. She claims to have documentation to show she paid that much.
I know we can't give her back her dog and we can't make up for the loss of a pet, but $1500! This seems fishy - like right when they need to money to move.
Any advice?
