Now boarding, man's best friend. Bark Air has launched the first-ever airline catered to dogs. Started by pet company Bark, the airline aims to "revolutionize flying for dogs". Bark offers what it calls "white paw service" with calming aids such as: pheromone, music, warm lavender scented refreshment towels, noise-canceling earmuffs and treats for the pups. Bark's sold-out maiden voyage flew from New York to Los Angeles yesterday afternoon. That's one of two initial routes; the other is New York to London, with more to be added soon. A domestic flight costs about six-thousand-dollars a ticket, and international tickets cost about eight-thousand each. Each dog ticket comes with a pass for one human.

A Fresno, California woman is rejoicing after a fine she received for collecting clams was substantially reduced. Last year, Charlotte Russ took a vacation with her family to Pismo Beach, where her children collected what they thought were seashells. It turned out they were collecting clams, which is illegal in order to protect the clam species in the area. Russ received a ticket for 88-thousand-dollars. She was eventually able to explain the misunderstanding to a judge, who reduced the fine to 500 dollars.

A man is receiving big bucks for a workplace injury that started as a hairline fracture in his foot. Eight years ago, Pablo Scipione of Lancaster, California, worked as an independent contractor for a railroad freight company owned by a Japanese firm. A piece of equipment fell on his foot, leading to the micro-fracture. Medical complications followed, and he had to quit working. He sued, and his attorneys asked for three-million dollars, which the company's lawyers rejected. That strategy backfired this week as a Los Angeles Superior Court jury this week awarded Scipione just over 58-million dollars. The money covers compensatory damages for past lost earnings, future lost earnings, future medical expenses, punitive damages, and past and future pain and suffering.
