re: Got attacked by a wolf last night, in my neighborhood

Let me give you one, (I have done a lot of these cases. This is not one of them but a relative. )

Many years ago In city limits in big city in Louisiana a 60 year old plus lady who weights maybe 120 pounds and lives next door to nut job with big pit bull. She is in her own back yard in March and starts lawnmower, (husband is deceased and my recollection is that she wanted to make sure it worked for yard boy) As she starts lawnmower, the pit bull gets aggravated and jumps fence into her yard and viciously attacks her. She is rescued by another neighbor who has to hit dog in head with baseball bat numerous times to get him to release her. She codes multiple times in ambulance and at hospital from loss of blood, etc. eventually recovers but in hospital for weeks. Police rightfully impound the dog.

After all of this, the neighbors try to get the poor dog released back to them, I shite you not.


By the way, Pit bulls, chows, German Sheppard’s and all wolf dog mixes etc are all excluded from almost all home owner policies and have been for 30 years. I am sure you can buy a supplemental policy or rider but I have never seen or known anyone that has one.

I bet your neighbor will write you a personal check. If you sued him, his carrier would not defend him and drop him like a hot potato.

This begs the question why are people allowed to own dogs that have such a bad bite history that they are uninsurable and should you get a one bite rule for these dogs? ( you don’t get one for pet tiger, alligator, wolf etc)
