Sandy, unfortuantely the law treats an animal as an object and as long as the owner of the Pitt has offered to reimburse you for the cost of Dior she has done what the law allows. I think you may however have her with the bite you sustained and you should contact an attorney atleast for a free consultation. I'm not familiar with the bite laws in NY but an attorney will be able to stear you in the right direction. I'm very sorry for what you have gone through. My son was bitten a little over a month ago by a German Shepard. We were fortunate that he was not a bad bite and I do not know what I'd do if I lost one of my Yorkies or skin kids to a dog attack. Again, I'm very sorry for your loss of Dior.
