Wallace and Owen argue that McCubbin and Merck’s complaint to Animal Control is not before this court. They contend their cause of action arises not from the complaint to Animal Control but from the “unstated independent dominant motive preceding that complaint: [t]o force Plaintiffs to leave the property with their companion dog.” (Original italics.) But causes of action do not arise from motives; they arise from acts. The act, in the context of Wallace and Owen’s allegations, was the complaint to Animal Control.6
