even been sharing how to help by
posting ideas on Facebook. The page
is called, “Support Dr. Lou Tierce,
Camp Bowie Animal Clinic.” Hordes
of comments appear on various
Internet sites haranguing the media in
general and the Harrises in particular.
The Harrises have a remarkably kind attitude about the Tierce
comments.
“Hey, they trust him,” Jamie
Harris said. “He’s sort of a rock star
vet. We felt that we had that much
of a trust relationship with him, too –
right up until we found out that our
dog was still alive and saw the conditions he’d been living in. And we’ve
said all along that if this had not
happened to us we would’ve said the
same thing these people are saying –
there’s no way he’d do this. Now, we
have a hard time trusting anybody –
other vets, our doctors, anybody.”
Sid rolled his eyes and groaned in
seeming agreement.
Perhaps Nietzsche was correct
when he said, “That which does not
kill me makes me stronger.” Or at
least wiser.
Hopefully Sid gains strength along
with wisdom. He deserves it.

The criminal case against Dr.
Tierce has not yet gone to trial and
the civil case (Jamie and Marian
Harris have filed a $1 million lawsuit
against Dr. Tierce) will not move
forward until after the criminal case
has been decided.
“All those things you would
normally do in a civil case have not
been able to occur so we haven’t
been able to take any depositions or
do any discovery,” said Jim Eggleston
of the Law Firm of Eggleston King,
LLP. Eggleston is the attorney for
Jamie and Marian Harris. “Tierce
would plead the fifth and any
questions we ask him, until he goes
to trial on the criminal charges, he
doesn’t want to hurt himself on the
criminal trial which has the possibility
of him going to prison.”
The plea deal that Dr. Tierce has
been offered by the Tarrant County
District Attorney’s Office involves
the doctor surrendering his license to
practice as a vet for the rest of his life.
Eggleston said, “He’s refusing to
