In a macabre twist on the age-old apartment tenant-owner struggle, two East Village residents are adding a dead dog complaint to a lawsuit against their landlord. An "internet entrepreneur" and his lawyer lady friend were out celebrating a small claims victory over Croman Realty when they returned home to a burgled and torched apartment, plus a critically injured Labradoodle. They're now suing Croman for not securing the East 7th Street building properly. [New York Post]
