Hill, C. J.
Damages are not recoverable for the negligent killing of a dog by the running of the locomotive and cars of a railroad company. Gaddis v. Southern Ry. Co., 9 Ga. App. 272 ( 71 S. E. 7 ). In the present case there was no evidence that the killing of the dog was caused by the wilful, wanton, or malicious act of the agents of the railroad company; and therefore the verdict against the company was unauthorized by law. Judgment reversed.
