Ontario Dog Walker Liable for Bite
Description
Ontarios top court recently issued a ruling that shifts the responsibility for dog bite incidents, potentially impacting pet sitters and groomers. A part-time dog walker was bitten while putting booties on a boxers paws and sued for damages, but the court ruled against her as she was considered the dogs legal owner under the provinces Dog Owners Liability Act at the time of the incident. This decision serves as a reminder for those handling someone elses dog to be cautious, as they could potentially be held liable and lose the right to sue if an accident occurs.
