What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I live in Lake Elsinore Ca. I was mauled by a Pitt bull Jan,7 2015. I was going to visit someone on the property and was never told there was a vicious dog there I was holding my little Dog when I saw the dog head butt the gate and was on me and ripping my arm open I had to have 4 hours of surgery and I'm still in a lot of pain due to nerve damage. The dogs owner has no insurance and is trying to blame me. and has sent me threating text . I have a attorney but its a slow pros. The Dog mauled once more just last week this time the person had his nose ripped off both arms are fractured and he has no skin left on his hands. I went to animal control and begged them to put the Dog down and all they did was put the dog on probation for 36 months how can I hold the Dog owner and animal control accountable? Any Help would be helpful thank you. sincerely.Tee
