What is the name of your state?NORTH CAROLINA!Yes i got neighbor that rasies & fights pitbull dogs,i had some troulble out of his dogs before hes been ticketed by animal control severl times,but last Friday i hard a big bang at front door and one of his pitbulls was crashing into my frint screen breaking the latches,WHICH IT CAME ON IN AND I HAD KIDS IN HERE PLUS A SLEEP OVER ALL I COULD DO WAS THINK ABOUT GETTING THEM SAFE!.It then came back at me lunged at me knock me over a chair and bit my arms strattle and chest.The animal control came out took report and assured me that the dog would be took into custoday for 9 days and he would be put down because of his vicious nature,but to my suprise i see the dog in my neighbors yard yesterday.I go to see county officer and all they could tell me was that he was on leave for 5 days.I had a dog that could have killed my kids me and who knows what else and it's free again,i got Dr bills doors to replace and maybe even operation on my hand and not one has came over and said they were sorry and they would pay for damages or nothing,so if anyone knows the law on a dog just going crazy like that into your house please let me know THX!!!

Pitbull Bites
Yes it's hard to beleive no one here has every had a dog attack similiar to what i went through!I live in north carolina but does our laws differ that much?I mean you don't provoke the dog he see's himself in my door window or was aggarvated because he was running with another bitch dog that looked in heat,but isn't there anything i can do legally in this matter or do i have't to take the losss all on my own?

Dog Attack
I've read alot different threads here on dog bites and seems to me the dog is in the right most of the time lol,but from what happen to me do you think i have a legal leg to stand on if this goes to court!I mean i might have upwards of $15,000 to $20,000 just in dr bills & surgeries!,it's not like i ask the dog to come over for a sleep over,the rascal acted like it was mad or something.

North Carolina Dog bite Laws
http://www.animallaw.info/statutes/stusncst67_4.htm
I found this site online that may be helpful to you as several laws appear to have been broken.
§ 67-4. Failing to kill mad dog.
If the owner of any dog shall know, or have good reason to believe, that his dog, or any dog belonging to any person under his control, has been bitten by a mad dog, and shall neglect or refuse immediately to kill the same, he shall forfeit and pay the sum of fifty dollars ($50.00) to him who will sue therefor; and the offender shall be liable to pay all damages which may be sustained by anyone, in his property or person, by the bite of any such dog, and shall be guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor.
§ 67-4.1. Definitions and procedures.
1) "Dangerous dog" means
a. A dog that:
1. Without provocation has killed or inflicted severe injury on a person; or
2. Is determined by the person or Board designated by the county or municipal authority responsible for animal control to be potentially dangerous because the dog has engaged in one or more of the behaviors listed in subdivision (2) of this subsection.

§ 67-4.2. Precautions against attacks by dangerous dogs
