Elaborate please. If you any case law demonstrating this liability please post those too.

And a good leg-chewing makes it easier to identify him if he gets away, when he shows up at the local ER for stiches and antibiotics.......and maybe a series of rabies shots for good measure.

Until animal control comes and picks up your dog for a 10 day quarantine on your dime.


ETA: I don't agree with it, but that's an SOP for dog vs person. That said, in that scenario, the local SWAT would get a call for a barricaded subject before I turn over my dog for biting a trespasser in my backyard. I'd call the media to shoot video too.

Dig moat. Add hungry pirhanas.
