The plaintiff and his dad went to the defendant’s house to visit her, but when they got there, the defendant’s dog started barking at him. The plaintiff argues the dog jumped and bit him in the face, which caused him to get eight stitches. He’s suing for medical bills and pain and suffering. The defendant argues the plaintiff ignored a “beware of dog” sign and leaned down to pet the dog. She doesn’t think she owes the plaintiff anything.
Case: 25-214.

i guess the judge never saw a pitbull jump before . if a fence is less than 5 or 6 feet tall then a pitbull can actually jump 4 or 5 feet high and move its head forward OVER the fence and bite . there are videos that u can search and see how high pitbulls can jump . the fence was too short to contain a pitbull and even if a person leans their head a little over a fence that is not considered trespassing so i think the defendant should have won .

We had an attorney friend tell us many years ago, to ditch the 'Beware Of Dog' signs and replace them with 'No Trespassing'. Reason being? If Heaven forbid our dog (Who was a gentle old soul, the sign was more of a deterrent) was to bite someone, and it was litigated, having the 'Beware Of' sign was an admittance we knew our dog would bite. If you warn people not to trespass and they are bitten, that's on them! Of course laws vary from country to country, even province to province where I live in Canada.

Stop. The dog can jump and lunge over the gate far enough to get someone on the face. The dog doesn't have to clear the gate completely. Pits are athletic enough to make an adequate lunge. This judge has formed a picture in her mind and expects the plaintiff to prove her picture. She is contemptuous of the facts presented. These events happen a lot faster than the descriptive vocal telling of it. This judge thinks that the timing of the incident corresponds with her verbalizing of it. It only takes seconds, and I bet this is a behavior this dog does all the time, so it is conditioned and fit to do it.

I think the judge means, if the guy was 1.5 feet away from a tall fence, that in order for the dog to reach him, it would have either landed on top of the fence or jumped completely over. Neither of those scenarios were mentioned. They said that it bit him but was still in the yard. I don’t think it is a matter of how high the dog could jump, I think it is the fence and the guys distance that makes the scenarios mentioned implausible. Even if he was closer to the fence, the dog’s neck would have caught on the fence to reach him. The way it was described was not plausible.

Unless the dog jumped on to the fence, so its neck could stretch that far out and either slid down the fence again or pushed itself back of to land of the ground (I've seen that plenty of times), then his story doesn't make a lot of sense, but that was not how it was described. Plus, it's suspicious with the weird letter from the young son (no kid would word it like that unless instructed) and that the father didn't want to come, maybe because he didn't want to upset his dying friend or maybe, just maybe because he knows they're lying and want no part of that. To me, it seemed like it was momma's idea and her sons did what she asked them to do, but I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last.

I think it is possible for a dog who is in an aggressive, territorial state to lunge further than you think over a fence and bite someone. But whether the dog lunged or the plaintiff leaned in, I would think the defendant (who is your friend?) would have offered to pay at least part of their medical bills. Also I'm curious if the defendant had knowledge the plaintiff was coming to visit or was it a surprise. If they knew they could have chained the dog up knowing they were having company. The plaintiff suing for $5000 however just makes it look like they were in it for a payday.

He probably did. If the dog was already barking and he was wary of it, he would have had plenty of time to get away from the fence if it reached over to get at him. But he somehow got bit. He *had* to have poked his head over and gave the dog a little greeting. Maybe it stood up slowly and he thought it was nice, but it bit him instead. That I have seen happen. You think a dog is friendly, it sniffs you for a bit, you think its fine, then suddenly it snaps. I work with rescue dogs, so I know. Fortunately I have not been injured. Yet. xD Some co-workers though I've seen this happen to. Anyway, even if the fence had give, he stated he was a good distance away. If the dog had a running start, he would have seen it coming and moved away no? On the other hand, if the dog was by the fence, I do not think it could have jumped up that height, extended its upper body and head that far to reach him, snap his face, *and then* pull itself back into the yard as if it was holding onto the fence. It's just not possible! Imagine it, and consider where most of a pitbull's weight is! It would have bit his face, flipped over and fell onto the footpath if things happened the way he and his mom are saying! ;w; More likely scenario: He peeked over, it stood up to nip him, and he just had that split second to recoil so it wasn't able to grab onto his face to do more damage. It ends up right back in the yard.

To be fair the dog could have lunged over the fence about a foot or so.. but the only way I see that happening is if the dig first jumps up and puts its front paws on top of the fence and then does a second jump/bounce to lift it's front part of the body up and over the fence and land back down on it's back legs. I've seen dogs do this plenty of times when people walk by their fence and it almost happened to me. I was on the sidewalk, had no clue there was even a dog in the yard I was walking by, and before I knew it the dog snapped right by my ear. Scared the bejesus out of me. I was on the sidewalk the whole time, the fence was at least 4ft tall and the dog continued to bounced along the fence until I was gone.

I think the plaintiffs made up a story that was too improbable that it cost them the case. A homeowner who invites guests over has a duty of care to their guests. Just because I, a guest, step onto your property it doesn't mean that I'm subject to whatever happens to me (e.g., you have live electrical wires on your lawn, you have a big hole that's hidden by weeds that I can step into; you set up booby traps, you have a moat full of alligators). They should have tried to demonstrate (assuming such facts existed for this dog) that the particular dog was a known hazard and that the homeowners were negligent in not taking more care to guard their guests from a known hazard on their property.

Originally I thought this was a wood fence and I agreed with the judge about physics, but with a chain-link fence, the dog can absolutely get his paws in the links to gain leverage and get over the fence and have his head far enough over for a bite. Especially if it had a running start. I don't believe the plaintiff was as far away as he claims, but perhaps right up to the fence, or only inches away (not a foot or two). BTW I'm a pit bull fan and aunt, so I'm not dissing the breed just looking at how what he described could "defy physics" and not be the plaintiff's fault.

There’s no way that this dog could have jumped over the fence, bit the plaintiff (resulting in it losing all of its momentum), and jumped back onto the other side of the fence. It would have landed on the outside of the fence. I personally think that both sides were full of bologna. The plaintiff wasn’t accurately portraying the events that happened and the defendant was acting like their house was waaay more prepared for people to know that they had an aggressive dog.

@TatewakiGaming 2 жыл бұрын

I feel that you are very mistaken. In my neighborhood there was a back yard enclosed by a 5’ wooden fence. The pit bull looking dogs in that yard could not only leap up and get their heads over a foot out from the fence line, one of them actually managed to routinely vault over the fence. It got so bad that the owners (after people made several complaint calls to bylaw) installed a 1’ topper to bring the fence height to 6’. That stopped the shenanigans. So yeah, I can more than imagine a dog reaching over a fence, biting someone, and then dropping back down into his yard. It depends on the strength and athleticism of the dog. Gravity does the rest.

I think the young man was less than honest when he said he was not on the property. He probably followed his dad to the door. The dog lunged at him. My personal observation and opinion . In any case the owner should have had the pit bull contained. And have a ‘beware of dog’ sign on the fence.

@JeremiahLOsborne 2 жыл бұрын

This was a tough case. It looked like a 4 ft tall chain link fence. If that's the case, a pitbull when I'm running start could certainly jump to the top of that fence and lunge over a foot and a half to bite that kid in the face. I don't think he really told his story well enough for the judge to understand how low the fence was. But I definitely understand her ruling. If there's a dog, and a fence, and a no trespassing or beware of dog sign, it pretty much relieves the owner of liability for a dog attack.

@@marleonetti7 definitely putting your head over the fences trespassing. It will be the same concept as if I own a tree, and the branches hung over your property. You can cut those branches right up to the property line all the way up to the sky. That's my part of the tree. But you're definitely right about pitbulls jumping. There are videos out there of pitbulls that can literally run up a 15 ft wall. I know that takes training, but if the average Pitbull can jump even a third of that, we're still talking about 5 ft. I believe that's plenty of room an opportunity for the dog to bite someone who is *not* over the fence. Nevertheless, it's irrelevant because there's a fence and there are a number of other aggravating circumstances which would have led a reasonable individual to stay away from the dog.

Respectfully speaking, I disagree with the Judge about why people get pitties. None of the pitties in my family joined our family as protectors. We love them and they are precious, adorable, gentle, cuddly wiggle butt companions and family members, who love to make friends and play. (I’m not speaking about the pupper in this video, but the one’s in my family.) They are misjudged, stereotyped breed. Judge each pup by their deeds, not the breed.
