Despite his best efforts, Guardian Angel Service Dogs founder Dan Warren will have to answer before a Southeast Texas judge as to why he feels he is entitled to nearly $70,000 for a puppy he himself values at (only) $20,000. The ruling was made by 58th District Court Judge Bob Wortham on Wednesday, Jan. 16, in response to a motion filed by Warren?s attorney seeking to have the case squashed in Texas on a technicality outlined in an agreed to ?Puppy Purchase? contract.
Wortham, however, did not interpret the contract in a manner consistent with Warren?s legal counsel, and has deemed the argument a non-issue. Per the judge?s ruling, the ?Puppy Purchase? contract, which was inked between Warren and the McLeod family of Groves bringing the suit to court, failed to include any language stating Guardian Angel would be due any money over the agreed to purchase price. Accordingly, the disagreement over who is entitled to the excess funds would not be covered under the contract stipulation that insists all legal matters be conducted in Warren?s home state of Virginia via a forum-selection clause.

I've heard of this US company before, they are complete con merchants as far as I can see
