My jurisdiction is: Waco, Tx
This past Friday my Chihuahua was attacked by a pitbull. My dog was on a lead in my yard to potty. The pitbull was from a block down the street and came out of nowhere. I was sitting on my porch with my dog when it happened. I have repeatedly tried to contact the owner of the pit with no response. He did reclaim the dog the next day from the pound and told the animal control officer that "his dog don't bite"! My dog ended up with a double hurnia and a tear in his intestine and had to have emergency surgery. I had to pay over $900 to save my dog. My question is what is the first steps to take legal action? It just makes me mad because pits get a bad rep because of people like this. Even though this dog was trying to kill my dog we still didn't want to hurt or kill his dog. I think the least he could do is talk to us!
