When Your Dog Bites at a Baseball Game

You hear the crack of the baseball and the roar of the crowd. Watching your nephew play baseball for the local high school is fun. But you also did not anticipate the noises’ effect on your dog. Sadly, taking your best friend out in public produces risks, and when your dog bites at a baseball game, it can cause you plenty of headaches.

The Scenario

Sandy is watching her nephew play baseball for the local high school. Unfortunately, an overzealous parent next to you croons about how cute your dog is. Your dog does not reciprocate the feelings about the parent. Instead, they bit them. The overzealous parent cries out in pain and reciprocates with venom aimed at Sandy.

The Claim

The overzealous parent claims Sandy exhibited negligent behavior by allowing her dog to bite her. Additionally, she claimed that Sandy did not warn her of the potential of her dog biting her. Sandy contends she and her dog were minding their own business watching the game, and the overzealous parent overstepped her boundaries by petting a dog without an invitation. Regardless, the person continues her goal to file a negligence claim.

Takeaways

Sandy could have done some work to prevent this. First, she could have tugged her dog closer to her to prevent anyone from touching them. But she also could pre forewarned people around her not to touch her dog. Sometimes, people cannot resist petting a dog. Sandy learned a harsh lesson about what happens when her dog bites at a baseball game.
