Legal Rights of Rescuers Who Incur Dog Bites
When a person is injured while defending another person or pet from a dog attack, the owner of the attacking dog is liable (responsible) for all of the resulting injuries, damages and losses. The defenses of assumption of risk, comparative negligence and contributory negligence are generally not available.
Breed Specific Laws
Everyone agrees that people are to blame for the dog-bite problem, but there are different opinions about whether breeds are also a cause. The time has arrived, many believe, for restricting the presence of, and even eliminating, certain breeds. Others say that absolutely no breed should be banned, controlled, limited or restricted in any way. This section of Dog Bite Law focuses on breed specific laws, regulations and bans.
