[@scotthewitt258]

Yeah. He probably could have apologized for the severity of the injury, which was unintentional. Wouldn't have stopped that negligent dog owner from suing him. But would have looked better on him to apologize. These days though, people are afraid of lawyers getting involved and trying to twist an apology into a "confession" of "guilt". I'm sorry Hitler killed six million Jewish people. That does not mean I loaded the Cyklon-B pellets. But, disingenuous people can twist words.

Even WITH a leashed dog your dog can still give you a heart attack. My family's dog has a full harness for when she goes outside and she somehow got herself out of it the other day. Loosening it somehow I guess. She then scared the hell out of my mother and I we were so scared that she'd just take off. Luckily for us she decided to play tug of war with her harness and her leash rather than just dropping it and running. It gave us the chance to formulate a strategy and grab her.

Saying “I’m sorry” doesn’t have to be the same as saying you did something wrong. It’s about having compassion toward a fellow dog lover and neighbor whose dog was seriously injured in an incident with you. “I’m so sorry this happened.” “I wish I could have avoided it.” “I’m checking to see how Sasha’s surgery went.” All of these are good starts.

Any of us that have been walking their dog on a leash and have another dog, big or small, run up and bark and yap and even try to bite you or your dog, knows what an absolute fubar'd situation it can turn into on the spot. The plaintiff is delusional if she thinks the defendant did anything wrong. If she would have plugged the hole in the fence her dog wouldn't have gotten out and gotten injured. Her defense? It's a rental. So another case of 'I did nothing to help myself, why isn't the other party responsible?'

We stare at each other for about 10 seconds and suddenly she comes charging When she gets right on me I smack her in the head with my cane. She takes off running home and I hear the guy saying, "Ginger, Ginger what's wrong" I just kept walking. About 1 month later, I turn the corner and look down the road and there she is. I say, "Ginger let's not do this" Suddenly she starts wagging her tail and runs up to me wagging her tail. I couldn't believe it. I even petted her and now she's walking with me.

“That man’s a monster” says the robot 😳

The fact she thinks he's a monster for protecting himself from her dog biting him shows you her character. Accidents happen but be a responsible pet owner Make sure there's no holes in the fence before you let your dog out. For some reason this stuff is lost in modern society. People think their dogs belong everywhere they go. They don't give any thought or care over people's allergies or prior trauma from dog attacks or anything.

Granted, Sasha ran out of her yard, but let’s get real. The defendant could not REALLY be afraid of that little Pomeranian. He hit that dog with intent to hurt it.

[@cypherknot]

Yep. And one can do so when presented with a threat.

[@cureeway]

he's not at fault.. I just would of wished he didn't walk away. Maybe try to find the owner.. he clearly seen the dog was injured.. call animal control.. something
