By Ohio law, the dog owner is at fault. Dogs can not run free here. Leashed, or fenced, but controlled. Cats are not so restricted, because they are far less dangerous, and less destructive. Some dogs have further restrictions. Pittbulls and another breed of very strong jaw, are restricted in leash type, length, and no kids on the other end. Fences have minimum standards, and they must carry at least $1,000.00 insurance on each animal. Cats? Nope. I'm trapping feral cats 2-3 times a week.
