What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama
My dog was attacked by a loose American bulldog on Thanksgiving morning. The dog that attacked my dog Sparky, (small poodle/dachshund mix) had got out of a yard a couple streets over. My dog was in my front yard where I had let him out to use rest room. He stays right in my yard, has for 5+ years. The owner payed the vet bill, I only made him pay the part of bill relative to the attack, but had cost of rabies shot and other vacs that were due(Now I am out that. Sparky had to be sutured and a tube placed in one of the wounds, but my dog died on Saturday afternoon, never recovered. The owner admitted that his dog had gotten out before, due to a faulty latch on gate, and that the dog had jumped on a dog in his yard. This as been extra emotional, being this was was mothers dog prior to her death 5 years ago and being a holiday.
What other recourse do I have? Having something done about the dog or owner, pay the rest of the vet bill seeing I am out that, pay for adoption fee of another pet (when ready), plus other expenses like shots, worming and supplies involved, had to through out other dog bedding, as this where he died? Pain involved in all this.
I love animals and really hate to have something done to the dog, but don'I want this to happen to someone else dog or god forbid a kid. I have had a dog for 30 plus years(most living 12+ years) .
Just wonder where to go from here!https://forum.freeadvice.com/images/smilies/mad.gifWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
