When Your Dog Bites Someone at a Brewery

It’s springtime! That means it’s beautiful weather to sit at a brewery and enjoy the sunshine with your dog. But things worsen when someone sees your dog and gets excited. Then, they pet the dog, which angers him, and he lashes out. It’s not a good time when your dog bites someone at a brewery.

The Scenario

Annie has a beautiful dog that she loves. One day, she takes her dog to a brewery to enjoy some time in the sun and some brews. Megan is with her friends at the brewery, spots Annie’s dog, and becomes enamored with the pup. Unfortunately, she does not think about the consequences when she exclaims joyfully and walks up to the dog to pet it. The dog does not take kindly to this and bites her. Now, Annie is in trouble because her dog bit someone in front of many witnesses.

The Claim

Megan claims that the dog attacked her without provocation. Conversely, Annie states that Megan touched her dog without consent, which provoked her dog to attack her. Megan claimed she was careful and did not reach out to strike. Furthermore, she has witnesses who agree with this sentiment. Annie may have been looking to bring her dog for a relaxing day. However, she did not anticipate the actions of other people. The scenario has put a damper on her plans, and the fact that others agree with the claimant worsens the situation.

Takeaways

Annie could have taken preventative measures. Yes, the brewery allows people to bring their dogs. But they also put their customers first. Thus, the dog owner will almost always be liable for the canine’s actions when a dog attacks another patron. It puts a damper on a great day, and Annie faces plenty of trouble after her dog bites someone at a brewery.
