Hi,
LOCATION: MICHIGAN
My dog got out of the house and bit a delivery driver on the wrist. My dog has been quarantined and allowed to stay with me at home. Quarantine is over.
It is not easy but I think I need to put him down, he chased this driver and did not respond to commands.
We are being sued per our insurance company, my parents do not think I should put him down because it make “the case look bad”.
I’ve had my him for 8 years and he’s never bit anyone before. But he did. And I’m worried about what if?
Does this actually make the case look bad? I mean the driver went to get treated at a hospital for his wrist and so it’s not like no one knows what happened. In michigan it’s the owners at fault unless the driver was trespassing which he was not.
What do I do? Or can you provide insight into similar situations?
Thank you.
