Hello,
So, today I had a dog-on-dog encounter and wanted to know who is liable.
When I was walking my two dogs ON LEASH, we came across another dog ON LEASH.
Unaware there was another dog, I guess my grip was loose on the leash; So, when one of my dogs lunged toward the other dog, my hold on the leash came off and my dog bolted toward the other dog. My dog doesn't bite, but crazily barks at the other dogs at close vicinity. Trying not to get my other dog (still on leash) involved, I frantically ran after my psychotic dog who was still barking at the other dog. In amazement, I saw the bigger dog lunge toward my dog as he was trying to get away, and lift up my dog by the neck and kind of thrash him a little bit. I immediately grabbed my dog's leash back and pulled him out of the other dog's mouth.
At this point, I wasn't sure whose fault it was. The dog that bit my dog (or is it considered a bite if no blood was seen)? or Me, who accidentally let go of the dog leash.
Thankfully, my dog is unharmed and no superficial wound was found, but I was wondering in this scenario, where my dog still had his leash on (so clearly I didn't purposefully let him loose) and the other dog (who was still on leash also, (although the owner in frantic couldn't control her extendable leash well) bit my dog, who is liable?
I have a best friend ，he is a dog，A Corgi, he is very naughty and warm and lovely.My mother disagree the dog stay in my home So my friend helped me take care of him, now it is at my friend's house.i am miss him soooooooooo muuuuch ,and i will going to see him next week. My baby smile make my sunshine all day ~~
I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit for this, but I'm a bit desperate and I've never posted anything on reddit before. My corgi, pia, who's 12 and female has had a large wound on her back that's likely cancerous for months and it's spreading I believe. When she was young she was in an accident where she lost the fur on her torso and she's an outside dog, which I guess would make her high risk for skin cancer.It smells very bad, kind of like rotting, and it also seems like it broke through the skin and looks like it would be gooey but it's not. We've tried to keep it clean and bandaged, and used treatments to no effect. My mom wants to put her down, but she seems fine to me (good appetite+walks around). She likes to lay around with my other dog and play outside, although I'll admit that she keeps herself in crannies in the garage mor often now. However, she's old so that doesn't seem to out of ordinary for me. Does anyone know if this kind of skin cancer or whatever it is is painful for dogs and if we should put her down? I'll post a pic of the wound if anyone needs to see it to know what kind of tumour/wound/etc it is
