Hi everyone,
I'm not sure where exactly to submit this, so I'm sorry if it's in the wrong place.
A couple friends of mine have some dogs. I stopped by their house to visit for a bit, but they were not home at the time. One of our other friends was there at the time because she's staying with them for a bit. While I was there, she went outside to take out the trash. She kicked the door closed and it appeared to be shut. I guess it didn't latch completely, and the dogs were able to push the door open and got outside. While they were out, the bigger one attacked a small dog and left a minor gash on its neck. We had to call one of our friends who lives at the house and she had to rush home to go with the owner of the victim dog to an emergency vet and pay any medical bills. She isn't the owner of the attack dog though. Our other friend who lives at the house is. Who is at fault here? Is it our friend who left the door open without realizing it, or is it the owner of the dog for raising it to be aggressive?
