IMO this would be a great opportunity for Home Depot to change their policy about letting animals in their store - and if not that, then at least educating their staff.
With that said; when I take my dogs out in public, I do not wait for anyone else to make a mistake around my boys.
If my dog injures anyone - it's not the dogs fault, it's not the victims fault, it's my fault - period. I don't care if anyone sticks their face too close to my dog. If I am standing there and don't have the ability to prevent a dangerous situation, then I am taking the blame 100% for any accident that follows. |
And I suppose that is what makes us all uniquely human, right? We all have differing opinions.
Now I would imagine the only ones who will be able to make the determining factor as to who is "right' or "wrong" are the lawyers who will be making a killing on the ensuing law suit and the judge who decides.
I should take a picture of MY nose right now. Talk about being stupid.
I know very well that dogs are capable of biting and cats are capable of scratching and biting. Talk about a lapse in judgement. At this moment I have a very large scratch on my honker that goes all the way from top to bottom almost right down the middle. Why? Because I was stupid enough to pick up a cat that was very close beside my dog. I would think she thought the dog was attacking and so attacked back. Unfortunately
my nose got the worse of it.
My fault entirely. Wonder who I can sue?
