Amazing.
I'm struggling mightily to raise $42,000 to bring to public awareness a painless cancer treatment that was suppressed and in danger of being lost using the same website as Dershowitz. Meanwhile, this guy blows $60,000 to recover his dog. One man, one dog, sixty-thousand dollars.
Of course, he has raised more money so far than I have.
Human beings sure are funny.

They say a dog is a man's best friend, which explains why one man has already spent $60,000 to get his beloved pooch back from his ex-girlfriend. Manhattan art gallery employee Craig Dershowitz, 34, has spent $60,000 of his savings to win custody of his puggle, Knuckles, TODAY.com reports.
Knuckles currently resides in California with Dershowitz’s ex, Sarah Brega. Dershowitz and Brega dated for four years and broke up in March 2011, but shared custody of "Knux" until November, when Dershowitz claimed in court papers that she "kidnapped" the dog, "Today" reports. Dershowitz says he purchased the dog when the couple was together two years ago, and that Brega was supposed to return the dog once he found a new place to live after their split, but she refused to do so.
Now that he's out of dough, Dershowitz wants you to help fund his legal fight to get his dog back (see his website here). But Brega says Knuckles is doing just fine where he is. "Knuckles lives a happy and healthy life in California with me, where he has ample room to play, and lives in close proximity to a beach for off-leash dog-park outings,” Brega said in court documents.
She also told "Today" in a statement: "(Knuckles has) been with me his whole life. It is unfortunate that (Craig) is using the courts and a fraudulent fundraiser to continue to harass me. He is taking advantage of unsuspecting donors. Craig thrives on media attention and he is seeking it out in order to further his career while exacting revenge."
Uh, oh! Here come the hate responses from designer dog owners. Why not go to a shelter and save some poor abandoned "pet" instead of shelling out big bucks for a trophy?
The case just mentioned has nothing to do witht the dog but is just a power trip between ex-lovers
Why dont you just throw your kids away and adopt some kids from Africa? Your old children will fade to a nice memory.
Love is not just limited to human beings, many people give that same love to their pets.
They are soooo precious.
I had trouble training Winston even to sit.
A man should be able to automatically expect once a week or so to have an outing with a kid.
I've even heard of guys buying a house in the same block to be easily accessible to their children.
If you ever do have a child you will be blessed regardless.
