[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dog owner, IMO.  Your pet does something, it's your responsibility.

Dog needs to be reported to animal control as well.[/quote]

Absent further detail re: the circumstances, this is stupidly oversimplified. If I put my pet in someone else's care, they're responsible for what happens to my pet, and also potentially liable. [/quote]

If your pet acts aggressively, it's your responsibility.

I have personally been bitten by a dog for the family I babysat for, there was no provocation and nothing I could have done in that moment to prevent getting bitten.

If a dog attacks another dog without provocation or warning there was nothing the person watching the dog could have done.[/quote]
There's always a warning. People just tend to either ignore it or misread it.  In this instance, the person in question should definitely have had the dogs separated and should have paid more attention. People who foster dogs should probably be required to take a class, but typically they aren't and rescue groups are mostly volunteers so here we are.[/quote]
