Yes, get it in writing. And if he was any kind of a decent person, he would pay the bill because he should, darn it! :( I'm glad your poor girl is doing better.

Shouldn't you send him the bill anyway? Or have the vet mail a copy of the bill for their services to his address. I'd have them include some of the photos of your injured girl too; he should have to see for himself what his animal has done to yours.
Glad to hear she is on the mend, though!

I still think he should be billed for her medical care. Just neutering the dog won't fix a behavioral problem- especially if the dog has started to enjoy being aggressive.

Once again, stipidity and bad upbringing come into play. Of course I would be mortified if ANY pet of mine EVER did anyting like this.
And first of all, ALL my pets are fixed and well socialized with other people and animals.
I wouldn;t even hesitate to pay for damages. what a fool
Oh brother
If the guy doesn't offer to pay, and you have time and strength to deal with it, i'd take it to court.
Happy to know Sadie is on the mend. Please give her a warm hug from NC |

I would be so furious!! If you are in an area where you can walk your dogs it would seem to me there would be a leash law. If this person is allowing his animals to roam he would be in violation of that law. I am with you and would persue this all the way, the man is a cretin and obviously does not have any brain activity. When you sue make sure he also has to pay your attorney bills. Poor puppy to have to go through this. I wish you well.

Please do not let this jerk off the hook. He definetly should pay for Sadie's vet bill at the very least. I realize he is a neighbor, but having to fork over money just might make him think the next time he lets his dogs loose. I keep thinking what if this were a woman out for a walk with her small child?? Letting him walk away with no punishment would, in my opinion, be so wrong.
Thank you for the update on Sadie, she is so beautiful.

Final update....and this will amaze you....apparently according to his neighbor....on the week that he was to have the dog neutered (and the police were going to follow up).....a moving van arrived and he was out of his place within one day...no one even knew he was moving. So, who knows what he ever did with his dog.....good riddence for me....but now I suppose it may be somebody else's problem. I am just glad he no longer lives in the area.....and so is Sadie!!!! By the way...she healed fine...her hair is finally growing back in and no more lumps found....so we will keep our fingers crossed. Thanks for all who were concerned!

You gotta love a happy ending. But I too agree, this guy is taking the easy way out.
You should have been compensated if he had been any kind of neighbor.
Pity he will become someone else's problem!
give Sadie a hug for us here in NC! |
