what would happen if your dog bit someone????

Question

um im getting at would i get a fine or go to jail and what would happen to the dog????

Answer 1

IF one of my dogs bit someone, that person was in my yard where he shouldn't have been. I had signs up on all my fences and gates cause I did have a couple of trained Police Dogs. My yard and property was inspected cause of their training and everything was secure.

One of my dogs did bite someone a few years back. A man had come to pick up his mothers dog and he entered a gate that said DO NOT ENTER. It was the wrong gate and he entered even when told not to. He got a pretty good bite on his leg and reported me to the police and animal control. The Police came out and Animal Control came out. My yard and shop was inspected and Animal Control said it was the mans fault and my dog did what she was trained to do.

The man tried to close down my business of Pet Grooming and file a law suit but he had no grounds and nothing was done, except that they went ahead and did the inspection of my shop even thought it was 3 months early. I passed with flying colors.

It depends on the situation.

Answer 2

That would depend on the person, the reason and the extent of damage.
A dog I used to have was overprotective and he bit my husband's ex-wife when she came down the path, that would NOT have happened if my stepson hadn't shouted RUN and she had just walked to the door. He Bit her in the a55 and apparently it made a big bruise but didn't break the skin. She laughed about it later and said it was her own fault for running.

Answer 3

I don't honestly know the right answer but I did see a news video about a dog that bite someone and the dog was put to sleep.

Answer 4

the owners of the dog that bit my child was fined, the dog put down by orders of St Louis Childrens Hospital and the officials of Cuba Mo
My son had 3 micro surgons to put his eye back together, and he had 80 some bite marks, from what is called a FRIENDLY PET....... I would myself put my dog down if it ever attacked, my son has scars for life, he was in 2nd grade when it happend and he is 18 now, still a web run across this kids eye and will for life.
NOT TO MENTION HE IS NOW AFRAID OF DOGS

Answer 5

It would depend on the laws in your area. Generally the dog would have to be quarantined for a period of time (determined by your area) and what kind of damage the dog did. If the dog mauled someone, regardless of fault, I would put it down immediately.

Answer 6

If you live in Texas Yes you get fined and your dog would get to go to jail (quarantine) for 10 days plus medical bills for the person who got bit.

Trust me been there done it.

The thing I did'nt get is he bit this person in my own house!!!!

Answer 7

It might be the persons fault or it could be that the dog was just being mean and wanted to bite . you know your dog and it will be determined how the bite occured . good luck to you .

Answer 8

It just depends on the situation. Consult a lawyer if you are really concerned. Or call the police department or a animal shelter they may be able to give you some advice. Just don't use names so you can protect the Innocent.

Answer 9

You might get a fine ( if the person was a jerk ).
You also might just have to take your dog for a check up.
If the person was bleeding probably a fine ( again if slightly jerk ).
The major thing is to make sure they don't have rabies!

Answer 10

It depends on where you live and what the laws are in your state and town. Where the incident hap pend? If you were on your property? Was the dog provoked? Did you report the incident?
You really need to speak to someone in your town.
