Thanks for the update Joel (I hear everyone talk about your books, I mean articles - I guess they are really posts, and how much they like them).
If anyone was hurt or has incurred a loss the dog/homeowner is responsible for the damage since they were his dogs. I am not a lawyer but we have plenty in the group. Arguing with idiots should not really be encouraged. The only words that need to be said..."you'll hear from my lawyer"! Glad Kevin made it back.
