This occured at a non-dog park. Both dogs were off the leash and neither owners were able to control their dogs by verbal command. But if the injured dog is MUCH weaker than the dogs that inflicted the injury, is the owner of the "stronger" dogs bear greater responsibility? Thanks in advance for your response.

I would say, each owner is responsible for their dog. If your dog gets hurt, your responsible to care for him, if their dog gets hurt, they should be responsible to care for their dog. Its a risk you take when using a dog park.

If both owners are responsible then what about this situation. A parapalegic in a wheelchair with her trained service animal? The service dog did nothing to show even a minute amount of aggression (it's been trained, certified, temperment tested). The service dog was simply attacked?
Both owners would be responsible for breaking the leash law, however, both owners are responsible for the damage their dogs inflicted. If a dog leashed or otherwise bit a human, would it be the humans fault in the court of law? No, so imo the dog's owner is responsible for the other dog's injuries, not their own.

First question is: Was it a dog park?
Second is: Was it a "regular park?"
Third..........no matter which one it is, the owner is responsible for their own dog, and personally, why would ANY OWNER take a risk like this to begin with?
When I take my golden retriever to the beach, I search the area for ANY strange acting or odd personality dogs. When I see any, I move my golden to another area. My guy is so friendly, but I can't count on the other ones that he meets to be the same way. I try to be smart.

Depends on the leash law and the specific case. However, if someone has a dog who's even remotely aggressive, they should *never* be allowed off leash. Likewise, any dog owner who allows their dog off the leash (I allow mine off all the time) should be ready to step in in a second if a problem starts (my dog is friendly, but a couple times, other dogs have attacked him... and I've been there to pull them off IMMEDIATELY).
That said... the dog who started it... his/her owner would be responsible. However, if that dog was the most injured, there may be some trouble proving that.

The owners! You are responsible for your dog. It has to be on a leash at a park!

Both owners are equally responsible for the fight and injuries. Depending on where this happened they both could be charged with letting their dogs run loose. They are both irresponsible dog owners for letting their aggressive dogs run loose and for taking the chance that some human, probably a child, could be hurt. Shame on them both!!

a pair of factors: a million. it occurred on the different dogs's turf, so he replaced into in all probability purely being territorial and you haven't any applicable to *****. 2. i'd be greater worried that this different dogs will leave his sources the subsequent time and attack between the little ones enjoying exterior. that needs to be pronounced along with his proprietor. 3. those sort of human beings in this website continuously berating human beings for having their dogs off-leash are driving me nuts. My dogs have been given harm those days off-leash in the bush and various human beings had something to assert approximately that. dogs could be waiting to run off-leash as much as available. enormously on your very own sources or out in the woods. I take my dogs with me as quickly as I experience my horses, does that mean he could be on a leash? that's rediculous. provided that dogs are properly behaved and not aggressive they'd desire to no longer could be chained up all of the time whilst the leave their domicile. And all of the regulations available that say you're able to leash your dogs in any respect cases are in trouble-free terms hurting the those that have products dogs. the human beings with undesirable dogs do no longer frequently care approximately regulations anyhow and enable their dogs roam and do harm.
