Doggie Drama

The plaintiff says her neighbor’s dog dug a hole through their shared fence and bit her canine. The plaintiff’s dog required surgery, so she is suing the defendant for the bill. The defendant denies owing because she says there is no way her dog could fit under the fence.

The dog's snout doesn't fit underneath the fence when the hole is dug from the opposite side. When a dog digs a hole it has a curve/slope towards it, the opposite side of the hole is more straight down.

[@Shaikhofilm]

Most of these dog cases , it’s really how the litigants present their case . Could be won by either side. Main thing is one has to show that the other party was negligent. In this case, one can say that they were both negligent , and one can say the neither was negligent. It’s just a matter of how one presents the case , and who the judge deems to be negligent and at fault.

[@user-uy6uc5ey5q]

I think you must have seen another case or didn't pay attention. The plaintiff had testimony from her other neighbour that the hurt dog wasn't a digger. She showed that the dog was hurt and received medical treatment on the day she claimed the insident took place. The defendants own photos showed they were placing cider blocks in attempts cover up holes under the fence. Then the testimony (which was highly likely to have been dictated to him by the defendant)of the grandson didn't match the obvious facts of the case, asserting that the defendants dogs didn't interact with the hurt dog is plainly a lie. Remember these low level civil cases, its just a preponderance of evidence that a claim of fact has to meet, and the plaintiff easily was well over that standard, and in fact the very obvious hositlity the defendant shows towards her neighbour, showing she has a motive to lie, and she made no effort to try and mitigate problem in past clearly indicate she was the at fault party.

[@scooneil]

This case needed another 5 minutes of questioning. Both litigants seemed somewhat shady. The plaintiff had an affidavit from another neighbor stating that her dog doesn't dig on that side? How/why would she have that unless she knew that the defendant would point out that both dogs dig? Also, the photo of her dog's injury looked like a laceration, not a bite. It seems JUST as likely that her dog cut its paw on the fence while digging. The only evidence that the defendant's dog was the only digger or that it stuck it's head under the fence to bit hers is that plaintiff's [Milian-ism] flapping gums [/Milian-ism]. The absence of the vet report was also suspicious. Without more information, I just didn't see nearly enough of a preponderance of evidence to award the plaintiff a thousand bucks. The plaintiff's vindictive smirk at the defendant after the verdict was also unsettling. It would have been worth five minutes of questioning to get more info on the feud between these two neighbors (ie: see if/how much motivation there would be to lie in the furtherance of this war) as well as a recess to call the vet to even find out if the injury was caused by another dog. I think Milian heard "pit bull" and made up her mind. The defendant didn't help her cause either though. She seemed bored to even be there.

[@sandybrickman1392]

I put up an extra fence on my side where I have dogs on the other side

[@MusicTennis]

At the first sign of "fence fighting" both litigants should have socialized their dogs together by walking them 20 minutes then drop the leashes and they sniff each other. Their nose is their primary sense so it's not necessary for them to "see" each other thru the fence. They know each other by scent and are friends forever. Cesar Milan teaches this since 2005. 😀

[@jillaltman2474]

Defendant should have to do the chicken wire not the plaintiff's. It's not their dog doing the digging.

I can't stand when a dog is attacked because of a known fence issue and the owner says, "It's their fence, why should I fix the problem". Grow up and PROTECT YOUR DOG! This could have been prevented so easily and both sides irritate the h3ll out of me.

JM ruled wrong on this. She should have split the bill. Both dogs were to blame especially when they were doing what dogs do best…which is DIG! And the plaintiffs dog could have injured his nail by digging too and his nail got caught on something on the fence or bent backwards from a rock in the dirt.

[@shianngdM]

True, but being a responsible pet owner means knowing your specific pets quirks or issues and preventing others from having to deal with them. They’re your pet, not your neighbors pet. But I agree that JM ruled wrong in this case. Different if the other dog dug so deep he ended up in the neighbors yard and bite their dog then.

[@KayB-l5h]

Both should be responsible for keeping their dogs away from the other. If you know the other dog gets out frequently why not put up your own fence and stop putting the blame solely on them.

[@jewdd1989]

The nasty neighbor whose dog digs and behaves so aggressive needs to fork over money for yard repair and forced to install something to keep her dogs head out! I hate crappy owners and I think they need harsh punishments because the problem is anyone can have a dog yet many refuse to be responsible adults when owning one. My neighbors husky malamute broke in 3-4x when my Aussie was a puppy. Scared the shit out of me the first time because he’s massive and she was tiny in comparison. I’d let her out for the morning since it was cool and nice, come home for lunch to let her in for the day and see I had a massive second dog hanging out with my baby. I love this dog and he didn’t hurt her, he just wanted to eat some fertilizer I had in the garage but really he wanted in my house to be with me. His owners aren’t the worst but they basically abandon him in the backyard and rarely interact so it’s understandable why he’d want to move in with me. One of the times I came home he was scratching at the door to get in. Thankfully he didn’t want to hurt her but that’s rare for these situations usually. He’s since calmed down and I pet him through the fence and share dog bones when my two get one. The newer issue is several ppl on my street all have pitbulls that they blatantly allow out to roam and harass neighbors, attack dogs, I’ve seen them chase kids into homes, one broke into my yard unannounced and lunged at me when I stepped outside… I hate owners, they need to be punished severely as in jailed, dog removed permanently and heavy fines not just ticketed especially when they are repeat offenders. It’s not the dogs fault it’s they’re crappy owners but unfortunately it’s the dog that’ll pay the ultimate price if it threatens or attacks someone

[@6Summerville]

Putting up cinder blocks does not contests that my dog is a digger. It could be that I’m putting them there to prevent my neighbors dog from coming in my yard who HAS A DIGGER.

[@KelliConan]

What bread of dog are they? A mutt. That was an obvious give away that they have some type of pit bull in them and she was trying to avoid mentioning that bread. For this case, it didn't matter. It's just kinda interesting how most pit bull owners don't believe that bread can be an issue just by their natural instincts and or that it's also the owner's responsibility to make sure that they're under control 'cause of these natural instincts. It was like she wanted to avoid that topic by saying that it's a mutt. That obviously didn't work, but it kinda didn't matter in this situation.

[@shianngdM]

What instincts are you referring to? Pit bull breeds (American, Staffordshire, etc.) used to be considered the nanny breed in England. I think most people with these breeds don’t outright say the breed because of the bias they have. All dogs are capable of biting and attacking. Little dogs and other breeds can be just as aggressive or unpredictable. They’re all animals.

There's a difference between cutting someone's tree that hangs over and merely taking a pic by leaning over. They wouldn't be on their property so no, not trespassing.

[@BobBlumenfeld]

@@Catloudan But cutting the branch by leaning over the fence would also not be "on" their property, but it's prohibited. Judge Milian has said many times that you have property rights from your boundaries on the ground up to the heavens, so leaning over for any reason is trespassing.

Pretty sure she meant to take a picture of the hole on their own sides. If the dog was digging enough to hurt the animal you would see the hole on either side. So you wouldn't need to trespass
