I'm happy they did a story on it and I'm also glad you decided to pursur a legal case. Maybe yours will be a precedent set. I love to walk my girls but I am truly afraid. We have many dogs that our loose some on their own property and others just loose. Being on their own property loose to me makes no difference when they are not fenced. Do their owners really believe if they see a dog walk by that their dog is going to continue to stay on their property. Of course not they will at the least approach that dog. It's very scary especially when we have little ones and these dogs out weigh them by so much. It's getting terrible. I'm sorry for you and Dior and I really hope that her death makes a difference in how these cases are handled. These little dogs are not merchandise and can't just be replaced and right now this is what the law allows (cost of medical spent and cost of replacement of the dog) It's a damn shame. Best of luck.
