Shithead's headstone dogfight has now gone to court - Update

The dogfight over a pet burial in Uniontown, Kentucky has now gone to the courts.

A Morganfield priest is suing the pet owner and the city for allowing a dog with a profane name to be buried near a veteran's memorial. It is the headstone that's causing all the controversy.



You would think most of the anger would come because of the profane name of the dog being put in such a public place. But for angry taxpayers and an offended priest, it wouldn't matter if the dog was named Fido, the problem comes in mixing cemeteries.

Father Baker filed the lawsuit Friday against the city of Uniontown and the dog's owners. He is calling the situation a nuisance and demanding the dog's body and stone be removed.

The dog's owner Judy Hagan says, "What right does he have to come to this town and put somebody else down for something they have done that he knows nothing about. It's not a disgrace. I didn't do it for a disgrace. If that's the way people wanna take it, then that's their problem."
