My Dog was Attacked by a Pitbull!! What Rights do I have? The owner doesnot want to take responsibility?

Tyrone St between Sherman Way and Hart. CA
We went to walk our dog鈥檚 when all of a sudden a Pit-bull came running from the opposite side of the walk way and tried to attacked my 5 year old daughter while walking our small dog. Our dog protected our daughter and my dog was grab by the neck and tossed around for about 3-4 minutes the Owner or Tenant of where the dog came out from was not able to control or stop him he also looked afraid as if he could get bite, another man from the house came out and it took both of them to grab the pit-bull by the neck so he could released my dog. My daughter was so devastated seeing her dog tossed around she was in tears and so was I.



My husband was afraid for himself since he was also grabbing another small dog he was also afraid for our child. I was shocked and afraid for my life and my daughters life the dog was the same height as my daughter and could have easily graved her the dog would not leave my dog neck alone and the pit-bull eye

First thing call the police then immediately after you should take your dog to the vet. If your daughter or anyone incurred any injuries go right to a doctor. Get those bills and sue them in civil court for damages and pain and suffering for your daughter. Meanwhile their dog (the one that attacked) should have to be quarantined for ten days although some states will automatically put the pit bull down). Good luck and hope this helps you! I can feel for your daughter and am sorry to hear such a horrible story.

Call the cops and file a report. Have the neighbor who helped you give a statement. The owner of the pit bull is responsible for keep his dog in his yard (esp a pit bull!) and liable for anything the dog does, aka your dog's vet bills. The owner of the pit will most likely be charged with negligence of some sort as his failure endangered not only your dog, but you, your family, and anyone else who may have been outside on that street.

Attorney, police. You can be repaid for time lost and vet bills and make them put the dog on a le4ash and fence it in. That one may be also dangerous to kids and people and you must report it. Sorry your pupu was attacked, but carry mace and stun gun with you and use it. hang in there.
