A Missouri landlord is suing St. Louis Blues forward TJ Oshie, claiming Oshie’s dogs caused $12,000 in damages to a penthouse suite.

Ashley Development (doing business as Buckingham Apartments) filed the suit in St. Louis County Court.

Here’s more, from Courthouse News Service:

“Defendant [Oshie], during the lease term, maintained two dogs which he customarily kept locked out onto the patio. During defendant’s tenancy, said dogs scratched and/or chewed on the custom screens, causing them to suffer irreparable damage necessitating the need for their replacement.”

Buckingham claims the dogs did $11,026.92 in damages and it will cost another $1,000 to repaint or stain the door frames.

Oshie paid $3,750 a month rent - including utilities, sewer, trash, satellite TV and Internet services, according to the complaint.

Courthouse News reports that, according to a YouTube video, Oshie claims to have a pair of rescue dogs.

That would make sense, given the Blues (most notably captain David Backes) are prominent figures in local area dog rescue drives, which includes their Pucks for Paws campaign.
