So sorry you had such a horrifying ordeal! When I had an encounter w/an unleashed big dog while walking my 2, I didn't think of saying 'NO' to the dog either...all I could manage @ the time was to pick my 2 up in my arms.
This is from dogbitelaw.com:
California permits a person to recover damages for canine-inflicted injuries of all types, based on the doctrine of negligence.
The non-bite cases show that neglience can be based on mishandling a dog (Barnett v. La Mesa Post No. 282 (1940) 15 Cal.2d 191 [horse in a parade]), ineffectively controlling or failing to control a dog (Drake v. Dean (1993) 15 Cal.App.4th 915 [leaping dog], putting a dog in a situation that foreseeably can cause injury (Baley v. J.F. Hink & Son (1955) 133 Cal.App.2d 102 [small dog on a leash]), or violating an animal control law (Delfino v. Sloan (1994) 20 Cal.App.4th 1429 [violation of leash law]).
