The dog was sleeping on the floor and she was lying next to him. She reached over and petted him and he attacked her. (No one knows why) She had many operations. The last time I saw her she was waiting on customers and was wearing a mask. However, I've heard she doesn't wear it anymore. I have a feeling the dog may have been dreaming and thought he was being attacked...who knows? But it was so shocking to hear it was a Lab.

I think pet owners need to be held criminally responsible for anything their pets do. Warren DeMontague May 2013 #16

They are responsible. Hasn't stopped dogs from being dogs, nor people from being stupid. n/t Egalitarian Thug May 2013 #19

So every single dog owner whose dog has attacked someone, has been personally charged with assault? Warren DeMontague May 2013 #20

They certainly can be, but we have all seen that enforcement of any law is primarily determined Egalitarian Thug May 2013 #24

Okay, so what I am saying is, I think the owners should be held directly and fully criminally Warren DeMontague May 2013 #25

It's as simple as you have stated. Why all the hand wringing. Prosecute the owner. nt ladjf May 2013 #30

That county has no laws that would control that dog, much less punish the people. pnwmom May 2013 #22
