A pack of 6 dogs composed of Rotties and Pitt Bulls attacked and killed an
elderly lady down here recently. They had gotten out of the neighbor's
yard. The neighbor might be charged, although not likely, since they were
not trained in any attack fashion, nor did they get out because of any
mistake on his part.
Ummmm, are you implying that the dogs were the smart ones in that family?
Seriously, if the dogs escaped their yard, the owner wasn't responsible in
his kenneling, and should be held liable, unless someone took a bolt cutter
to his fence.
It's sad that all we hear about with regards to biting is certain breeds.
Most of the biting is done by smaller terrier types and spaniels (Cockers
are notorious biters), but that doesn't seem to make the news or bite
statistics, since small dog bites are not taken seriously.
