All the way from Halifax

Rescue vs. rescue is not a local phenomenon. Apparently, it's not even an American thing.  A lawsuit to be filed in U.S. District Court against a Ms. Joan Sinden, controversial poster of the dog blog, Me and my dogs in Halifax Nova Scotia (no, poor grammar is not at issue), claims that Sinden is more than just a little wacky. She's also vicious. It seems that Sinden, who is loved by her tiny fan club and despised by others, has a habit of misappropriating images belonging to others and using them to harass those people.

Also in the suit, are claims of defamation of character- libel and others. Sinden made herself widely known by attacking the owner of the famous death row dog, Brindi, owned by American Francesca Rogier  recently of  Halifax. Those attacks boosted her readership who are most often treated to pictures of her dogs in various cute positions and horribly written "news" pieces consisting of more misappropriated content.

We'll just have to see what develops once her lawyer responds to the suit. We'd post a copy of the complaint, but to be fair, it hasn't been served yet.
