Did I miss something? I saw the OP didn't get a rescue dog but a stud and that the dog was considered a rescue due to the treatment by the previous owner...hmmmmm hope he was of breeding quality since studding was the intent with him...isn't 2 years too young to tell? Hope genetic and health testing along with certifications would have been done...
Also the larger dog wasn't leashed and that the OP was simply picking up their her dog and Max wondering in front of the elevator-maybe a foot away maybe 10-who knows none of us but the OP was there...I'd hope they weren't trying to profit off this...
I feel I should add if I was in a situation where my dog was leashed I bent over to pick up another one of my dogs and another dog and person fell on my dog...let alone killed my dog...I'd not only be devastated and livid, I'd expect that person to be fully responsible for their actions...I would be for mine. It does bother me that the amount is so pointed out...but many times we attach monetary compensation to the amount that warrants our distress over things, but dogs are considered property under the law and there is always a value assigned to property...this seems to be a situation that if the OP had no fault in it they are entitled legally to compensation. Reasonable compensation for the cost of their lost dog (how do we put a value on our pets that makes me so sad to even say,but they are property with a value) and the full cost of the vet bills...as long as they weren't responsible for the incident as well... |
