[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I don't remember exactly what was said except that his dog was out of sorts because he had just moved here the day before.  He was not at all apologetic.  He was also very cagey when giving me his information.  He only provided his email until I insisted on getting his phone number too.

I'm sorry but I guess my husband and I are strange because had the situation been reversed we would have paid all the bills resulting from the bite, gotten our dog more training and put a muzzle on him in public.   We would have been incredibly sorry that our dog caused harm to another dog.  That is just us, I guess.[/quote]

Dc is a city of lawyers or or nearly lawyers with way more legal knowledge than the average person. If you offer to pay all of someone's bill for a dog bite you are being really foolish from a legal standpoint. I understand it was upsetting, never act out of emotion in such a situation. If the guy had offered to pay for everything it would be an admission of liability. Who knows where that ends with some people in this town? They could try to sue you for everything you have if you admit fault. Dogs are by their nature as animals, unpredictable. That is how any court would see this case. lesson learned, don't let your dog sniff other dogs. Don't ever use a retractable leash...[/quote]
