Default update on cousins dog that died thanx to cable guy. what say you.

A couple execs spent about 4 hours at his house in the evening apologizing (a plus in my book). They cut him a check for $1100 (pure bred German shepherd puppies start around $1500 around here) and 3 months of free cable with a forever upgrade to hD boxes in every room.

The tech was fired before he finished the install and when presented with the dead dog and blood dripping out of the pick up shrugged and said whatever (he was hatian and haitians eat dogs in his defense).

I would have told them to FUCK off and lawyered up. But he's in pain an doesn't want to deal with it. What say you? 3 months of free cable sounds like a pump slap to me, how about free for life dicks.

Well he got HD for life too which is nice.

Honestly, I'm shocked he got anything. I'm impressed with how well they presented themselves to reconcile the event. What is the name of the cable company?

Accident or not his actions resulted in the destruction of the OP's property and should reconcile the situation. The company showed class, and the tech needs his ass kicked for his non-chalance.

The cable co really did make an effort, outside of tech. But my cousin just had another shepherd die from old age. Terrible fucking timing for him.

He lost his job due to the unfortunate string of events from an honest mistake. I'd say he got his ass kicked.

Not a lot of dog lovers here, I see. I used to not be and get the whole "its just a dog" thing. But when you get attached like he did, twice, there's gonna be an emotional pain that has no price. Feel bad for him and his wife. And he has to sponsor the sb party this year.
