	Sorry for your loss. Maybe small claims court, but it is your word against hers. We know you are telling the truth, but a judge has to have proof before taking sides. I would think about getting a fence so your dogs won't ever get away again, even a field fence or electric horse fence would keep your little guy in while you are watching and keep big dogs out.

	I'm so sorry for your loss Agree with the others. These people aren't friends if they haven't offered to help with vet costs and are now flat out lying about calling the dog over in the first place. The one piece of legal advice anyone can give applies to ALL situations ALWAYS...*Do you have proof to verify what YOU say happened?* If you don't then unfortunately you're out of luck. Even a sympathetic judge cannot rule on emotion alone. Definitely call AC and report the incident regardless. Give them your account and if nothing else it could help someone else if something like this ever happens again to them by establishing a pattern.

Lilo RIP

Catch me if you- can..

	Thank you everyone for your advice. We decided to just end the friendship and move on. We did call Animal Control and the Health Dept, since the dog bit my boyfriend in the process of breaking up the attack. They were going out to investigate today. It hurts that we once considered these people our "friends." However, they pretty much slapped us and our Lilo in the face. We are putting up a fence once all of this rain stops. I am NOT going to let anything happen to our other baby and another dog, if we choose to get one in the future.

	I can kind of see where your "friend" was coming from. Though what happened with me and my dog was vastly different from what I've read. She probably loves her dogs just as much as you do yours and she could be afraid of what would happen to them if she admitted it. Especially since someone got bit breaking them up. Vet bills such as those are expensive! Almost everyone knows that. Maybe she just didn't have any money? I still don't quite understand why she didn't offer some though. I'd feel terrible, more than just terrible, if my dog attacked another when I was the one that called the other dog. My dog, unfortunately, ended up killing another dog when it ran barking onto our patio. Months before then the same dog had been running to our back window barking aggressively almost every day. Sadly this day my dog happened to be there. She pinned it down and I immediately had her off of it. She backed off no problem. She didn't puncture the skin or anything. The dog was just too small and its windpipe collapsed. They took off to the vet hospital and I found out the next day from my mom that it didn't make it. I felt horrible about it! But I was also really scared that they'd try and come back and try and get my dog. Knowing your dog took the life of another is devastating and also extremely scary. I am sooo sorry for what happened! Edited by author Wed Sep 7, '11 5:19pm PST

	If she was scared about her dog being PTS, wouldn't you think she'd go over and say something about it? I mean, the OP can sway that decision pretty heavily.

As long as they- think they're- the boss

	Someone who was truly responsible for their actions and the actions of their pet would have at least offered an explanation of why they couldn't help or were afraid to admit what happened and even deny calling the dog over. If they can't afford to help at this time okay maybe something could have been worked out. Not even an apology or admission that they called the dog over? This person to me should have known better than to call someone else's dog onto their property. Iown two Akita's and know that if I have a cookie for one I'd better have one for the other and they love each other ,too. I don't think it's very wise or responsible to call someone else's dog over to be petted without petting your dog as well,that's almost begging for something to happen. I would never have allowed my dog to go into another dogs territory either so I think both have some responsibility for the results but the dog that killed the other and bit someone as well has an owner that needs to grow up and if not willing to euthanize the dog consider some more training and an apology and explanation to the owner of the poor dog that died.

	So sorry about the loss of your baby! Animal control will have to check on the dog's license and vaccinations and will probably quarantine it for 10-14 days. Not because of Lilo, but because the dog also bit a person. I expect the dog will be home in 2 weeks. I can't understand why they didn't offer to help with the vet bills. That's just decent. Again, sorry.

	Tell them that and that you dont want the situation to destry your friendship. She must have homeowners insurance and depending on the breed of dog they have, the insurance will cover your pups expenses.
