Dog Bite Liability

This clip has some information about whether you could be in trouble should your dog bite someone. IMO, it's just good citizenry to make sure your dog is well mannered. If you know your dog has a problem that could lead to biting, this video reinforces the need to get the problem dog behavior addressed.

Another point that owners should be aware of is that some locations have breed specific legislation that often assumes certain breeds are dangerous. Even if your locality does not, your insurance carrier may have policies that may decline coverage for certain breeds they feel are dangerous. While I personally feel such laws and polices are ill advised, owners should always make an effort to stay informed. Such laws and polices could have an impact on your ownership responsibilities for your dog.
