Hot Bench Season 2 Episode 112 Pet Dreams Shattered!

Pet Dreams Shattered! is an episode from season 2 of Hot Bench. The show follows a panel of three judges, Judge Tanya Acker, Judge Patricia DiMango, and Judge Michael Corriero, as they hear and deliberate over small claims cases. In this particular episode, Pet Dreams Shattered!, the case centers around a woman named Holly who is suing a breeder named Greta for allegedly providing her with a sick puppy.

Holly explains that she had always wanted a Coton de Tulear, a small, fluffy dog breed that is known for being great with kids. She did research online and found Greta, who claimed to be a reputable and responsible breeder. Holly flew to Greta's farm to pick out a puppy, and ended up choosing a male Coton de Tulear named Rocco. The puppy was only a few weeks old at the time.

Holly says that as soon as she got Rocco home, she noticed that he was lethargic and not eating or drinking. She took him to the vet, who diagnosed him with parvo, a highly contagious and often deadly virus. Holly was devastated. She says that she had paid a lot of money for Rocco and had been dreaming about having a Coton de Tulear for years. She had also bought a lot of expensive supplies for the puppy, like toys, food, and a dog bed.

Holly confronted Greta about the situation and asked for a refund or a replacement puppy. Greta refused, saying that Holly must have exposed Rocco to parvo after she left the farm. She also questioned whether Holly had followed proper care instructions and vaccinations for Rocco, which Holly insists she did.

The judges listen to both sides of the case and examine the evidence. Greta insists that she did not sell Holly a sick puppy, but the judges note that there were several inconsistencies in Greta's testimony. Holly presents veterinary bills and other evidence to support her claim that Rocco was indeed sick and that Greta was responsible for the condition.

The judges ultimately rule in Holly's favor, ordering Greta to pay her the full price of the puppy plus additional expenses for veterinary bills and other costs. Holly is emotional and grateful for the verdict, while Greta appears upset and frustrated.

Pet Dreams Shattered! is a tense and emotional episode of Hot Bench, as it deals with the heartbreak of a sick pet and the complex legal issues surrounding pet ownership and responsibility. The judges handle the case with sensitivity and logic, weighing the evidence and making a fair decision. The episode is a reminder of the importance of responsible pet ownership and of being aware of the risks and challenges of buying a pet from a breeder.
