DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
It is well established that a pet owner in New York cannot recover damages for emotional distress caused by the negligent killing of a dog (see, Gluckman v. American Airlines, Inc., 844 F. Supp. 151; Jason v. Parks, 224 A.D.2d 494; Fowler v. Town of Ticonderoga, 131 A.D.2d 919; Young v. Delta Air Lines, 78 A.D.2d 616).
O'BRIEN, J.P., FLORIO, SCHMIDT and SMITH, JJ., concur.
