- September 15, 2017
Judge Judy is back with an all-new case in season 22 episode 10 "Harlequin Great Dane Rescue?!; Whatever You Do...Don't Answer the Phone!". In this episode, a woman brings a case against a man claiming that he sold her a sick Harlequin Great Dane puppy for $800. The woman explains that she bought the puppy from the man when it was just seven weeks old and that it immediately became ill after she brought it home. She says that she spent thousands of dollars on veterinary bills to try and save the puppy, but ultimately it passed away just a few months later.
The man, however, argues that the puppy was healthy when he sold it to the woman and that she must have done something to cause its illness. He claims that the woman is just looking for a way to get her money back and that he had no knowledge of any health issues with the puppy before he sold it.
As the case unfolds, Judge Judy must sift through evidence and testimony from both sides to determine who is telling the truth. She listens carefully to the woman's account of the puppy's illness and the steps she took to try and save it. She also hears from a veterinarian who treated the puppy and who confirms that it had a serious medical condition.
But the man also presents evidence to support his side of the story. He shows Judge Judy a video of the puppy playing and jumping around just days before it was sold to the woman. He argues that if the puppy was truly sick at the time of the sale, it would not have been so active and playful.
In addition to the dispute over the puppy, the case takes another unexpected turn when the woman shares that she was recently scammed by someone claiming to offer Harlequin Great Dane rescue services. She explains that she paid hundreds of dollars to the scammer, only to never receive a puppy or even a refund.
As Judge Judy tries to sort out the details of this complicated case, she also offers some stern words of caution to anyone looking to buy a pet. She stresses the importance of doing thorough research and vetting any seller before making a purchase, and she warns against falling for scams or red flags.
In the end, Judge Judy delivers her verdict in the case, determining whether the man is responsible for the puppy's illness and whether the woman is entitled to any compensation. Viewers will have to tune in to see how it all plays out in this emotional and riveting episode of Judge Judy.
