Question:

Tracy Price took her English bulldog to Dr. Nancy Brown, a veterinarian, for a surgery, which was performed on August 30, 1991. When Tracy visited her dog the next evening at the veterinary hospital, the animal appeared groggy and was panting heavily. Tracy requested that the dog be monitored all day and night and was assured that this would be done. The dog died on the morning of September 1. Tracy filed suit on May 4, 1993. She claimed that she had entrusted her dog to Dr. Brown based on Brown’s assurances that appropriate surgery would be performed and the dog returned to her in a healthy condition. Tracy demanded damages in the amount of $1,200, the fair market value of the animal. She claimed that her dog had been entrusted to the veterinarian for surgical treatment and that it had died while in the doctor’s care as a result of the doctor’s negligence. Has Tracy stated a cause of action for breach of a bailment agreement?
