| I think you did the right thing even though it cost you $400.
How long ago did this happen? The reason I ask is that your neighbor sounds like such a scumbag that he may try to sue you anyway if he hasn't paid the vet and the vet tried to collect from him.
There will always be the statements that you made to the vet and vet office personnel about how this happened. I'm sure they will remember. Save your cell phone bill that will show the times of your telephone calls.
I'm assuming that you've got a decent relationship with your vet. You may want to mention the lawsuit threat that your neighbor made not having anything to do with the vet being (or not yet being) paid by your neighbor, but rather to cement in their memories what you said actually happened. That will be almost as good as having a police report stating what happened, maybe even better.
It's mind boggling how you did everything possible to see that your dogs were protected yet you still have to be concerned about a neighbor like that.  |
