The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has overturned the Appeals Court ruling, deciding that Howard the schnauzer is, in fact, a pet under Wisconsin Statute #123.
It took a year and a half for Mike Johnson's case to make its way through the court system. He is upset about losing, though he always knew it was a long shot to convince the court that a dog wasn't a pet.
He had already decided to move, though - even if he had won the case, the conflict with Ms. Miller has made his living situation too uncomfortable. He hopes he can find a pet-friendly apartment!
