This is a no brainer. Owners should be held responsible for the actions of their animals. This would certainly include all breeds of dog. Last summer we had a mutt down the road tear the crap out of my neighbor across the road. The damn thing got her ankle, wrist, and removed a muscle in her arm off the bone. There doesn't appear to be even a hint of Pit Bull in the dog, so I guess he should get a pass. Oh, and this was his third incident. The first two were just bites and the last was a sustained and prolonged attack. No biggie, he isn't a Pit Bull.
So what about when a horse throws a rider, should the horse owner be charged? i only bring up horses because in many states horse owners are protected.
