I know some PPs are saying "Just cooperate with police" but I would also be more assertive than that, since this woman is spreading lies about you AND your child. You got the name of the officer who took the report, right, OP? Reach out. Ask what the status of all this is, currently. Be SURE that animal control was notified by the cops if the officer said he or she would do that. Contact animal control--can you find out if animal control has sent anyone to interview this woman? Are they going to cite her, fine her, etc.? I would honestly be a pain to animal control and the police if they aren't moving on this.

I would retain a lawyer and have the lawyer let the woman know that you've retained them and are considering next steps. Sometimes that contact alone is enough to scare people into doing things like offering to pay medical bills etc. You may never need to go to court at all, if merely having a lawyer scares the neighbor sufficiently. And a lawyer can ensure you have everything you might need, if there ends up being later legal action, like which receipts and reports from police and animal control you'd have to have.

I posted earlier about this but will reiterate: Your other neighbors are also at risk from this dog and its terrible, selfish, lying owner, OP.[b] Do not let worries about "What will the neighbors think of me?" stop you from pursuing this. [/b]Some other child might not be as fortunate as yours was and might suffer a much more severe bite, yes, even from a small dog. [b]You've been forced into this role unwillingly, but it's now your family that can serve this owner the consequences she deserves, and needs to have, for the whole neighborhood's safety.[/b] [/quote]
