What is the name of your state? ky

My neighbors dog had gotten into our swimming pool and destroyed the liner. Are they responsible?

Do you have a fence? Do you have homeowners insurance? What would you do if a child got in and drowned?

**A: how did the dog get in? Did the neighbors throw the dog in and say "attack that liner Rover"

My sides are killing me, can I sue the dog? ;)

**A: no you can't sue the dog.
Under the Kentucky Toto Canine Non-Responsibility There's No Place Like Home Act of 1987, dogs are exempt from pool liner liability.

But my sides hurt from laughing so much, there must be something I can do :confused:

However, I'd like to know how the dog libeled, slandered or defamed missie while in the process of destroying her pool liner. Do all the other dogs in the neighborhood now think her pool sucks? Too cold, maybe? Or that she's mean and doesn't leave nice doggy treats out? Or are they all breaking down the gates to get into the pool which was "just right"?

Inquiring minds want to know!

You are all so quick to condemn animals here. Just how is it that you all magically know that it wasn't the liner that attacked the dog (and lost)?

Hmm?

Well, that HAD occured to me, but I suspect the dog's trespassing on the pool liner may mitigate the liner's culpability. I suppose it depends - did the liner defend itself with deadly force?

I think you both are at fault. You for not having your pool properly fenced/enclosed....and them for not having their animal properly leashed/fenced.

Take it as a learning lesson. Put up a fence & alleviate this kind of problem in the future. That will also prevent any more serious problems, like as rmet said, a child getting into your pool and drowning.
