[QUOTE="Magnus, post: 746057, member: 22193"] Sorry to hear this, for your sake and well as the dog’s. All you can do is tell them exactly what happened and keep your story straight. Bottom line, though (and something you should make a point to mention as often as you can when defending your case to management – if they should decide to make it a huge, blown up issue) is that it is the responsibility of the dog’s owners to keep the dog secured at all times. Liability is not with you if the dog was not properly secured and therefore allowed to bolt out into the street (and also, as it sounds, unsupervised by its owners to boot). In fact, many States, Counties and City Districts make it ILLEGAL for owners to be careless with their dogs, as in allowing them free reign on the streets for just such reasons. Crap happens, and there are leash and tether laws for a reason… not just for the safety of others, but for the safety of the dog itself. Rest easy, it wasn’t your fault – you said it yourself, there was nothing you could have done. Good luck, nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
