[quote=Anonymous]Agree with making him do all the manual labor you can think of to work off the damages. As an aside, I just recently got a dog. I have a child turning 12 in June. No matter what responsibilities I delegate to her regarding the dog, I consiider *myself* as being the one truly responsible for both her and the dog's behavior and consequences. I wouldn't leave the dog and the kid in a situation where her negligence could cost $7000. Because something bad could easily happen, and in addition to the damage, what if the dog got sick or died? My child would never get over the guilt. Sorry to say I think it's your fault, OP. So while your son does have to do manual labor as punishment and learn about the consequences of irresponsibility, I think that going forward, when your child is supervising the dog - you have to be supervising the kid.
