The child is 5 and has been told multiple times to not hit or hurt the dog previously and prior during the same day the incident happened. the other siblings have beaten him with sticks previously.
'Poor dog. Anyone could sue and there's no controlling or predicting whether someone would. What you describe sounds like a reasonable basis for a defense or counterclaim. Your question remains open for three weeks. Try contacting one of the attorneys in the Animal/Dog law section and see if they could give you a minute or two on how Minnesota animal law addresses this. Good luck

WC denying work related injury
injured neck/shoulder/hands in warehouse of Disney. Determined by EMG that hand(s) problem was carpal tunnel. Will only address neck/shoulder which consists of pain meds and with restrictions job can only accommodate me in repeatitive hand jobs. NEVER had problems with hands before this injury. Can I get them to address all or am I SOL? They sent letter saying not eligible for disability paymehts because it was not work related yet still out on medical. Confusing situation especially having never dealt with WC.
