I was just approaching my house whenI see some officers walking into my yard. also got a fire truck and ambulance. about a million things go through my head.
I get there and se the dog catcher truck. Fuck my dogs are out. I get out of my truck and the officer asks if I have two Dalmations. Uh Oh what they do? Sir they bit two people. We are trying to catch them in your back yard. What? I go back there and the to dogs are giving the guy fits. Musta been the big stick with a noose. The Male 55 pounds and stone deaf is pretty pissed. and his sister 35 pounds is making life difficult to catch also. I walk into view and point my finger and yell at the female. They stop in thier tracks and sit at attention. I offer to walk the dogs out to the catcher truck but the officer nooses the male and he come un-glued. Very strong dog was whipping him pretty good. I picked up the female and carried her while she licked my face. OK so what do I do? legally. I am not worried about the dogs just getting my ass sued by the victims. Wife and I pretty much decided the dogs are going to have to go, so that's that. We are searching the insurance policies to make sure we are covered. One lady is cool about it and has already said not to worry about it. But ..... The other lady is still in the hospital with big bites on the arm. |

Sorry to hear about your problems. From past personal experience Your home owners insurance should be there to cover you and write several checks to your neighbors and fof all of their medical bills. My 5yr old daughter was bitten in the face by a relatives dog while we were on vacation visiting them. Of course we were not going to sue but the Ins Co paid all of the emergency room bills, plastic surgeon, air line tickets for a follow up visit, second doctor when we came home and then a check at the beginning of each year of college.
Neighbors dog bit a friends son in our front yard. Again their home owners insurance paid all of the medical bills and a fairly large settlement for the child and even an additional one for his brother who " was traumatized by seeing the incident" Both dogs did survive as we did not report the first incident to other than the insurance co while in Hawaii and Colorado seems to have a first bite rule which saved my neighbors dog, so you may not have to put them down. It may go easier on you since these were adults, we tend to get more excited when something attacks our children. |
