Answer:

1)e.   A and D are correct.

The owner of the injured dog or cat can seek a reduction in the animal's market value as damages. The reduction of the animal's market value means the owner of the dog or cat will be compensated for the difference between the animal's market value prior to and after the injury. Further, the injured dog or cat owner can still recover reasonable and necessary damages incurred for the animal's treatment following the injury, including all medical, pharmaceutical, and boarding costs.

 

2)a.     Personal property entitling the owner to economic damages for Lucky's death.

California classifies dogs, cats and, indeed, all animals, as the personal property of the owner. The California courts have given economic relief to animal owners whose pets are injured by other humans.

 

3)a. Unenforceable because it is an oral guarantee to pay the debt of another.

Under statute of fraud, If there is a promise to pay debt of another person then it must be evident by in writing not orally.
