Are Dogs "Livestock"?

This isn't a straight up statutory interpretation case, but rather one involving an easement, but the court relies heavily on the fact that statutes differ in their definitions of "livestock" in holding that whether dogs were "livestock" in terms of an easement presented a question of fact for the jury. Thanks to Professor Brian Slocum for this one!  It's U.S. v. Park, __ F.3d __ (9th Cir. Aug. 8, 2008).
