(jen) hogan is suing the website "gawker" for 100- million dollars. his attorneys say: the video got seven-million views. gawker's defense is: that hogan spoke freely about his sex live in florida, so therefore, it's fair game. they're also calling it a first amendment issue. the trial continues today. 3 3 (walter) it's the story we got so many calls about last summer... the dog saved from being put down, after biting a child. well now, padi is in trouble again... accused of biting a *puppy. 3 (walter padi the dog was nearly euthanized after biting off part of a four-year-old boy's ear in june. it happened at his owner's pet clinic in bradenton. well monday morning, a four-month old puppy... that was in training to be a service dog... was bitten on the nose by padi. padi's owner claims the puppy was the aggressor... growling at his dog, and getting up in padi's face... but the puppy's caregiver says: that's not true... the attack was unprovoked. she's afraid the bite may scar him, and prevent him from becoming a service dog. 3 "having fear issues can take a dog out of the program. he's being trained to be a wheelchair support dog, so he has to be able to go into a neighborhood with other dogs,
