If the dog survived, this would mean the veterinary treatment costs and possibly an additional sum for the dog owner's emotional distress.
If the dog did not survive, then the dog owner should receive the veterinary treatment costs, the costs of basic cremation, the current fair market value of the dog, and possibly an additional sum for the dog owner's emotional distress.

I got your DVD and updated my contracts accordingly. So much information - I had to watch several times to make sure I get it all.
