I was bit by my neighbors Bullmastiff when mowing my lawn. It's so large it just leaned over my 4' high fence and bit me on the shoulder. The bite is not real deep but plan on getting it treated tomorrow to play it safe. How can I get the owner to pay for the medical bills, they seem to think it's no big deal and think I should have to tell them when I mow the lawn so they can put their dog in.
What about a fence, shouldn't they be required to get a proper fence(height) to restrain their dog properly.
What about the existing fence thats mine, can I take it down since it seems ridiculous that my fence is being used to try to restrain a dog i don't want around anymore? Would taking it down force the issue for them to get a proper fence?
