[quote=Anonymous]It's sad, and yes, he should have made it obvious that his dog wasn't friendly, but it is just one of those things that sometimes happen when you own a dog. My dog is friendly 90% of the time but for some reason he will occasionally snap (not bite) at another dog for seemingly no reason. Maybe the guy thought his dog would be ok and he was surprised too.

Also, I've had people let their dog come up to mine when I am clearly not showing signs of wanting to meet them--(reining in the leash, heeling him, stepping to the far side of the sidewalk, etc) so maybe you need to be more proactive then just saying "he's friendly." Maybe the guy thought a lack of response made it clear that his dog wasn't. I much prefer to get an affirmative response than to gauge whether no response is an assent or not. Stick with "is it ok for them to meet" or "is your dog friendly" and if they don't respond, assume they are saying no.

I can't imagine the hassle of going through small claims court would be worth the $200 or so you seem to be looking for anyway regardless of fault.
