What To Do About Malicious Accusation Of My Dog, Biting Someone?

[Elizabeth13 10]

Ignore them. I've been there. Police came round and said there was no evidence and inconsistent info. So nothing happened.

 

Edit: obviously my dog hadn't bit anyone btw. My neighbour is a malicious person

My next door neighbour's dog did bite a teenage girl (and in truth he'd bitten before but it hadn't been reported) The Police were called and they said that a dog was allowed 'one bite' as long as it wasn't a mauling obviously, and nothing more was said. It was about 10 yrs ago so don't know if the law has changed but I doubt it.

 

Personally I wouldn't worry about it, it sounds like a non event to me.

Hi PT, if you have made a complaint agaiinst this carer, why did they send her to your home again? I'd be asking this question to the company concerned and get advice from your local CAB

Unfortunately the law has changed, and the new law means that even in the dog's own territory and inside the house if someone has a fear that the dog is going to be aggressive (note, the dog doesn't have to bite at all) then officially that breaks the law. Dogs who run at visitors, dogs who bark, growl or jump up are all potentially breaking the law too, and risk being seized and put to sleep.

hence why crating when people enter your home is the only 100% Safe option

Which is a totally idiotic and unprovable law, giving any spiteful, vile or malicious person the opportunity to make an unfounded complaint!

( sorry Medusa, I'm sure that's nothing you are not already aware of already)

 

Its just a dog-hater's charter, imo.

don't worry, if there isn't no bite marks , bruising , bleeding , this person hasn't a leg to stand on

I would ask the people who you are complaining to why she was sent or came to your house while a complaint is active

It's malice, Andrejuan, in my opinion. I made a complaint about this person/ the company she works for, and it's my belief this is retaliation for my complaint.

 

Make another complaint to her employer and the police about the false accusation.

 

And without an injury, she's going to have trouble proving that anything happened (ie she can't).
