What legal actions can be taken if a neighbor's unleashed dog causes harm or injury?

full on off leash

had the dog made contact with my skin and caused very light damaged I’d have met with the owner and resolved it with a one on one convo . Maybe a “ kindly .” Placed word

gave the old fart a lovely shoulder tap with my foot.

I found out I have cancer—I have not told my family. We can’t afford the treatment anyway. Should I just say nothing and let nature take its course?

almost apologized to him man look like I hurt his feelings too.

If it is an injury that is serious enough or very clearly a dog with a previous continued history. I would call the police . You can sue for damages and having an unleashed animal running at you.

I calmly stepped in front of my girl who was ready for a scuffle.

then I’d request dog training and potentially therapy .

For the dog .

Just saying tho. Dog ran at me and my other one the other day.

I’ve had a lot of experience with bite risk dogs in doggy daycare. We had a lot of last chance. We understood the dogs were badly bred or had past situations or even just bad. Owners. We got bit and hospitalized a lot for minimum wage . But we understood deep down it wasn’t the dogs. It was the environment around them and again bad breeding. Also fuck day cares .

if that dog touched my dog ! I’d beat the ever living sh💩t biscuits out of it.

And told him to get lost .

then he turned away and I gave my girl the okay to walk on. We played some games to shake off the stress of another persons poor handling.

What makes you different?

I would try to reason with person first depending on injury level/ and obvious treatment like if it looks like a bad situation ( they pay hospital fees . Muzzle dog. Get training and even offer to pay for any recovery training for trauma caused.)

I think taking them to court when it’s not the worst ( few stitches .) would put a bite mark on a dogs record when really it’s just poor ownership( unless it’s byb.)

And reimbursement for any damages done.
