Ein

[Freedom]

Last night, Shane received a call from a guy claiming that the last time our dog was loose he jumped on a lady and knocked her down. She walked to the hospital and found that she had a broken hip. We had heard the story before only the dog in the rumor was a German short hair, not a dalmatian.

I'm not sure someone with a broken hip can walk period, let alone to a hospital.

Is it the same people shifting from the German short hair to your dog?

I wouldn't bothergiving them the time of day, let alone tell them you do or don't have insurance.

Did you save the 2 broken tie outs? Do you have any way to show that the earlier story was with a different dog?

It is just possible that, once they learn you have no insurance . . . no "deep pocket," . . . it will suddenly be ANOTHER dog!

By the way, kudos to you for helping this Dal, sounds like he needed a new human!

The public was saying it was a german short hair, they said it was a dalmatian. I saved the broken tie outs, we have started to consult an attorney to see what can or could happen. I'm just so nervous about it. I know he likes to jump on people, and it probably was him. ; sigh ; I am just really kicking myself in the butt for not training him better pre-accident.

It would freak me out the most that someone was coming into my yard and snipping the tie out. In the very least that's trespassing.

Have you thought of getting a surveillance camera? Or maybe those things that give a tone when the beam is broken? (usually stores have them, but i knew someone that had it on the end of their driveway.)

You're lucky all they did was snip the dog free and not steal it or poison it. Do you know of anyone around you that doesn't want you having a dog?

On a separate note, please tell me you didn't plan on keeping a Dal outside during MN winters.

I would think that someone would have to have reliable witnesses that could positively identify Ein as the dog that did it in order to get someone else's insurance to cover something like that.

Make them do a doggie line up and have the people try to pick Ein out of a line up.

I'd fight tooth and nail before paying something out like that.


IMO, I'd concentrate on finding out who was cutting the tie out.
