A graphic from the Nonhuman Rights Project featuring a photo of a smiling brown and white dog being petted. Text reads: "Dogs as 'immediate family members'." Below, a caption explains that in June 2025, a New York court recognized dogs as immediate family under common law, allowing a woman to recover emotional distress damages after witnessing her dog's death. It describes the ruling as an important step away from viewing dogs as mere property.
"This year NY recognized dogs as 'immediate family members' and not just property, after an NhRP amicus brief argued that excluding them is an anachronism. This is a major victory for #nonhumananimals."
