[QUOTE="brownclown, post: 86249, member: 276"] Hey Everybody, Thanks for weighing in. As of this moment I've had no contact with the owners and really the only info I have is where they live. I know they've been contacted by my immediate sup's and were assured the dog's shots were up to date. I'm going on faith that this is true for now since legally a report has to be filed (presumably by UPS since I didn't file one) and that the animal must be quarantined after biting someone. I was also told that it would now be in the hands of the insurance company representing UPS. I really haven't had a lot of discussion about the incident with mgmt. but I imagine come Monday morning I'll have a few questions. My guess is that if I pursue a lawsuit that it would be on my own initiative and that hopefully UPS will back me up with some documentation. I've owned dogs my whole life and have a healthy respect for what they are capable of. I have the good fortune of living in the country where a dog can roam the lot without being chained up. I can't imagine my dog attacking a person in this manner and I would'nt own a dog that didn't have a good disposition or was aggressive to children and strangers. It's unfortunate because I see many many dogs tied up or locked in the house or kenneled all day long and I can't help but think that this would have some negative affects on them.
