| Personally, I think that's the kind of accountability owners should be required to have. Heck, that's even better than some....there are some statutes that enable a burglar to prosecute for an attack by a dog on the property as they're carrying all your stuff out of your house. I'd be happy if this statute you cite applied uniformly across the country.
The only time a dog or owner would be subjected to it is if the dog was allowed to roam free without being under the control of his owner. The only dogs that have ever caused a problem for me have been doing exactly that, so I see it as a good law to have on the books. |
