Our dog, Boston Terrier at six months of age was attacked a year ago in the Vet's office by a Lab Retreaver. They were both leashed, my daughter with our puppy, sat in a small, crowded Vet's waiting room adjacent to the door where dogs exited from examining rooms. As Labador Retreaver came out it grabbed our dog by head and shook her severely, severing muscles that held eye in place, blinding eye, and damaging the neck or brain:she drags her leg now going up stairs. Who shall we sue: Vet, owner of dog, and/or the boy friend who was walking the dog? In Calif. small claims court we plan to sue for $7,500 (we have spent more) for medical expenses.

I am sorry to see that your little dog got injured for no apparent reason, and the need to seek compensation from whoever is responsible is totally understandable.
However, it was an accident... nobody meant it to be that way, and this time a Vet, a dog owner and a boyfriend are on the wrong side of the equation; tomorrow it could be you or a loved one. How would you like to be treated?
No matter how much we try to regulate and legislate to prevent them, accidents will occur as long as there is a world. And -personally- I think the best way to deal with them is by appealing to the best of our nature, (it can only come from each of us, not told upon) instead of backed by a system that in the long term only encourages alienation from one another as a society and as fellow humans.
You asked for points of view, this is just mine. Good luck on the total recovery of your little dog -what really matters-.

I would sue all of them. The Vet for not providing a safe place for your dog-- the guy who didn't contol the dog that attacked--the owner of the dog that attacked for owning a dangerous animal. Of course this is not to be relied on-- you should see an attorney in your area who knows the laws in your state. I'm not licensed in that jurisdiction and I'm not giving you specific advice just a general principal.

I think the only one you can sue is the person or group that was failing
to control the dog at the incident.
That is, who was on the other end of the leash?
