AR-News: (US FL) 'Bad dog' sign may be pet owner's best defense

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

Q: My partner and I were walking our two Boston terriers on Miami Beach's 
Lincoln Road. We bumped into some friends who were also walking their two boxer 
pups. We chatted a bit, and as the dogs sniffed each other and got acquainted 
they got tangled in their leashes. When one of our friends tried to untangle 
them, our dog bit him on the hand.
Our dogs had never bitten anyone before. Now we have a legal dispute about 
whether or not we're responsible for the damages suffered. We say we did nothing 
wrong. Our dogs aren't pit bulls, for goodness sake. Our friends say fault 
doesn't matter and we must pay. Both sides have agreed to be bound by your 
decision. Who wins?
-- Call us ``Bill & Ted
from South Beach''
