Rosalba, a resident of New Mexico, claims that Pet Food Company, Inc., put out some dog food that made her dog, Champ, sick. Champ is a prize-winning poodle. He survived the pet food fiasco only after traveling to a veterinarian in Florida specializing in poodles and only because he had two very expensive surgeries. Additionally, his ability to sire has been impaired, and Rosalba will earn no more breeding fees from Champ. Her damages are $100,000. Pet Food Company, Inc., is incorporated in Delaware, with its principal place of business in New Mexico. Rosalba asks you whether she can sue in federal court. What would you tell her and why?
