We all likely have heard the saying that adogis mans best friend.
And its true, isnt it?
These pets arent only good companions in fun times but can be helpers in hard times too.
Unfortunately, the same dog became a victim of a vicious attack and lost its eye and leg.
So, its no wonder the owner is now looking for ways to hold those responsible accountable.
It isnt uncommon for pets to help their owners with grief.
Dogs cansensewhen their owners feel bad and comfort them.
They thought they did.
But after what happened, it became clear that maybe they shouldnt have been so trusting.
Apparently, this woman left the dog with her other canines and left the area.
Leaving so many unattended dogs is dangerous as they might get intofights.
And it can happen for many reasons.
For instance, it can be a form of them guarding their territory, food, or toys.
Or it can be due to their fear or aggressiveness, to name a few.
So, the lady who the OP trusted with their dog really played with fire.
And it didnt end well.
The authors dog walked near the womans mastiff and it attacked.
The dog lost a leg and an eye.
Also, the sitter didnt even notice the fight until her neighbor came into her house shouting about it.
Due to this, the original poster had to cut their trip 8 days short.
So, to the sum of the dogstreatmentcosts, the prices of rescheduling flights were added.
Thats whyBored Pandareached out to Judges AssistantJurgitaKasinaviciute from the Kaunas Chamber of the Kaunas District Court in Lithuania.
She said that various pieces of evidence can be useful in cases of claim for damages.
For example, photos, explanations, or even experts conclusions.
Jurgita also noted that in such cases, written evidence is basically a must.
For example, proof of treatment, and transportation expenses.
Testimonies can be useful too, but its better if they go along with written evidence.
While our interviewee providedlegalinsight into the case, the people on Mumsnet mostly didnt.
Most of those who commented expressed their compassion for the author and their dog.
They also wrote that they didnt really know how they should proceed legally.
So, we can only hope thats what the OP did and that they will get justice.
