What is the name of your state?CT
My dog is a fear aggressive dog that I love very much. He bit someone who was running down the street, 2 years ago and I was sued last year. I understand this was my fault, but now my problem is that my insurance company is not renewing my ins. and I don't know what to do. I have considered getting his front teeth removed, so a future bite will not cause damage, but of course I am not planning on him biting again. I muzzle him when people come over (or close him in a separate room), and we have an invisible fence which he is scared to death to go through. The teeth removing part may sound awful, but a vet actually recommended it.
My question: can I be sued if he bites again, even if he won't draw blood because he'll be all gums? If I have a sign outside (invisible fence, beware of dog), and yet people come into my yard, is it my fault?
