- The plaintiffs claim the defendants lost control of their dog and it attacked their dog so badly that bones were sticking out of his leg. They’re suing for the cost of the surgery and vet bills. The defendants say the plaintiffs refused to listen when they warned them three times not to come close to their dog, and they’re countersuing for legal bills.
Case 29-097
That lady outside is a prime example of people not wanting to take responsibility for their own actions. It's always easier to blame everyone else
I was thinking she was a friend of the plaintiff......I've been calling her Ester lol
She’s the prime example of entitlement smh still not taking responsibility 🤦🏽♀️ same with the stupid woman Harvey interviewed
Yes
Also the neighbor that was on the vid, she was saying the same shit like the guy said his dog isn’t friendly and she’s like soo🙄🤦🏽♂️
aka every boomer ever
When someone says "my dog isn't friendly, please stay away" LISTEN!
Exactly
She's a Karen. She listens to NO ONE!
Exactly! so simple
Amen!
Facts! I was stopped so suddenly when this woman told me her pitbull wasn't friendly. That dog made a beeline towards me, and the owner did nothing.
Poor Anita could not grasp that she was in the wrong. You can tell she’s lived a long life thinking this way 🙄
I was thinking that too. No fact, no law, no judge is going to convince her she was in the wrong. I hope that when this episode aired, the defendants found ways to advertise it to everyone in their community.
I had the same feeling too😃
I feel sorry for the poor dog. Her negligence is what caused the injuries, bottom line. And since she’s convinced she didn’t do anything wrong, she could very well endanger the dog again. I wish JM would have gone a little harder on her making it clear how in the wrong the plaintiff was. Even Doug the Savage reiterating it didn’t get through to her.
i bet she’s also a karen and yells at employees bc she “thinks she’s right”
@@brandirae99 I dont know about calling her a 'Karen'...does she honestly think shes right? Yeah she does and thats unfortunate. But I think theres a little more going on here than is shown at face value. This woman saw her dog get horrificly brutalized. Now Im going to assume that she loves this animal...she didnt seem like a monster after all. But she needs to blame someone and the idea of it being her own fault that this animal she loves is hurt so badly is hard to accept...especially when you see it done by something else...in this case the other dog...so I dont know that shes a Karen or bull headed per say...I think she just cant bring herself to accept the facts because it would hurt to much. It doesnt make her right or excuse her...but its a more sympathetic outlook I think.
I was at the vet, with my cat in the carrier. A dog (off leash) kept coming over to us and poking its head near the carrier. I put the carrier on my lap and asked the owner to keep her dog away. She replies "my dog is likes cats, we have several cats and dogs in our home". I replied that's great, but my cat doesn't live with any dogs, and your dog is freaking him out. Had to say it twice - she just wouldn't get it, acted like I'm the one being rude. People like her (and Anita the plaintiff) create cases like this.
exactly. my dog loves cats but i understand most cats are scared of my dog so i don’t let my dog near them unless they are okay with dogs AND the owner allows it. under no circumstances do u let ur dog or cat meet someone who is telling you no
wtf lady! a vets office isn't a singles bar for your pet
Perfect example. Thanks for trying to protect yer kitty.
My dog loves other dogs. She lives with 2 other small dogs (shes a 70lb plott hound) and we dog and cat sit often for family and friends. She loves to play and hike with other dogs too. But thanks to a person like Anita with a "friendly" off leash dog without any recall who attacked her she became leash reactive. This was with me saying "call your dog" when it came too close and got the "shes friendly" then ir literally attacked my dog. I had to beat the shit out of this dog to get it to release mine too. And they were just like "sorry".
It's taken a whole year to get her to not freak out (with a street length in between) when she sees a dog when she's leashed. If she's off leash in our yard or someone elses yard and meets other dogs, shes great. No issues. But she's traumatized now. She hates being on leash when other dogs are coming towards her.
I literally hate these people. They don't listen.
That’s so rude of that lady to do that. And kind of dumb. Your cat would have been so scared.
The entitlement of this elderly couple to start the case with “he told me his dog isn’t friendly” and to bring a witness that backs it up and still think you’re going to get some money 🥴🥴🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
It's down to they thought him saying his dog wasn't friendly would work in their favour, as if that was him admitting guilt/fault. Not the way that works 🤷🏼♀️
The lady outside is out of her mind. If you know the stove hot... you see the fire and you still touch it, can you sue the company that made the stove 🤦🏾♀️
Lmao for real...
that sounds like a Judge Milan proverb :)
That's a perfect comparison! And the plaintiff's response to a "Stove is HOT" sign would be "So? My hand isn't hot!"
Then she gets burned and sues.
And she still doesn't get it! She still thinks it was his fault! And the lady outside agreed! That much pretzel logic just makes my head hurt.
@RyanVee then say why didn't some one warning me , or make the fire safe o touch
People like that are the reason they put warning labels on bottles of water. 😑
I love how their witness proved that the defendant is right.
I find it rather amusing that many times the Plaintiff doesn't get what they were suing for and the Defendant wins. People are too sue happy. I have never in my 66 years sued anyone or ever went to court except to be part of a jury.
@@getin3949 I would never want to go to court either. I know the producers pay the amount but the idea of ACTUAL court, I don’t have time to be mad for that long - or the money 💀
@@ViVALaKiRAxx it's unnecessarily stressful too, there's good reason to sue but a lot think you just look at em funny n owe em 2k
Even Doug the Savage tried to help her understand why she lost, and she still doesn’t get it 🤦🏼♀️
Exactly!
They actually brought proof from the neighbor to prove the defendants claim
Talk about dumb. Now they will go home and yell at that woman.
😂😂😂 love when that happens
Yes and the plaintiff still think she's right and that the video showed she was right!
What?!? How?!?
I am afraid vendetta will continue. Witness was truthful but still wanted to blame the bearded man.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was so nice of the plaintiffs to bring a witness for the defendant. When someone tells you to stay away from their dog Bc their dog isn’t friendly STAY AWAY. It doesn’t affect them if your dog gets attacked. Your dog is affected if it gets attacked Bc if your negligence.
That was priceless. The plaintiffs had me cracking up with that
The best thing that could have happened to the defendants is the plaintiffs bringing this case on a TV court show.
Now everyone in the community will see who is REALLY responsible for this dog's tragic injury.
Not really because Ms. Anita still doesn't think her actions were wrong and her over 55 cackling neighbors/friends likely think the way she does. LOL. The neighbors recording confirmed the defendants story but they still thought it supported the plaintiff.SMH
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I feel sorry for Anita’s dog. What a stupid owner.
Seriously. If it was a private court case the old woman probably would've gone around saying crap about the judge being biased or him lying about what happened, but since this is all public and televised there's literally no way for her to deny what really happened.
@@ndbyers23 if I were the breeder of this dog and saw this on television, I would be furious that this stupid woman allowed this to happen
The guy is definitely being truthful. The guy warned her and she didn’t heed his warning. She should have walked the other way
She didn't need to walk the other way. She needed to tighten up her leash. Those retractable leashes - I think that's what she had- give a dog a long ways to go very quickly. She just let her dog get much too close. On the other hand, this guy should work with a trainer to get that agression under control. His cute little 20 lb puppa outweighed hers three times.
@@bluepuppy1139 I'm sorry but how does the dog have aggression, he's skittish because he was attacked 3 times prior to this incident
Exactly!
@@asiyah7714 I know. I heard that and you have to feel bad for the dog. I'd be skittish too if bullies beat me up when I went out. I still think the dogs reaction was too much and it needs some help. Can't hurt can it.
@@asiyah7714 paranoia can cause aggression in animals much like humans
Dog trainer advice: If you’re out walking your dog, you have GOT to be in full attention of your dog and your surroundings. Your friendly dog is not an excuse to be lackadaisical in the walk. If someone tells you “my dog is not friendly,” your friendly dog is not going to compensate. You must. Make. Space.
For your dog’s sake, be pro active.
Her dog is not friendly. She thinks it is because it's a little dog. His testimony shows her dog was not friendly as it came up to his and barked at his without provocation. We call those instigator dogs and the owners oblivious and delusional to the character of their dog.
@@davidkline4372 it’s such a destructive mindset to have, the misguided perception that small dog = sweet dog. I’ve watched a dog the size of a shoe make 2 pit bulls that broke free from a neighbor’s yard turn tail and run.
@@eveieteatoo I work with dogs and the most serious bites I and my coworkers have received are from little dogs and doodles. People assume certain types of dogs are good with no real reason and the consequences can be devastating.
Wait, you're suggesting to be a responsible owner?
The horror! Everyone knows you blame someone else for your dog's shitty behavior! :)
Just kidding, sound advice.
My dog is friendly, but he is very eager on leash, so I know My dog makes the wrong impression with other dogs, and I try to control him because i know that he might get beaten due to his eagerness. So me knowing My dog is friendly, I don't let him near any dog if they tell me the other isn't friendly, it's My responsibility the safety of My dog
Anita: my dog was not that close!
Everyone: Then PLEASE Anita, tell us how he got bit?
new update gave dogs ranged attack. hey can bite at distances of up to 60 feet
Anita needed to throw out the flex-o-leash, get her dog on a short leash (with collar high up on neck) and start correcting her dog from sending the "let's fight" signal to other dogs. I'd bet $1000 shes never watched Cesar Millans show. Now her dog is crippled like millions of others who don't watch the show (or some other dog behavioralist).
This guy is the truth, you can tell he’s definitely not lying
I agree you can tell
Yep
I can tell the Karen definitely IS lying.
Doesn't matter. Under the new communist U.S. a Karen is always right even when she's wrong and lying through her teeth.
Exactly
t4705mb6 No, she isn't lying. She confirmed his case because she told the truth. The thing is she kept thinking that they were saying she was on the grass when she wasn't. She cannot understand what is really happening. To her she did nothing wrong simply because her dog was friendly. I do not think she understands why she lost or even what really happened. She needs to see a doctor because confusion is the first sign of alzheimers. While she was in the wrong she clearly is having major issues with confusion.
🙄🙄🙄
I hate an entitled elderly like this one. The audacity to sue him after he warned you that his dog wasn’t friendly smh.
EXACTLYYYYY 💯💯💯💯
And then she acted like she's right, seriously!
Why make it entitled elderly? Being elderly has nothing to do with being entitled.
@cocatfan because she happens to be elderly. He did not say that all elderly are entitled. Calm down
@@cocatfan B K is an ageist,
She even admitted that he said the dog was NOT FRIENDLY and she replied BUT MY DOG IS FRIENDLY so she had no concept of the danger which proves HIS STORY that she kept coming toward him like a nutcase. Her fault.
Yes, and such a shame that he had to be out money for lawyers fee through no fault of his own. That woman is clueless.
That lady speaking to harvey is the type who would ignore everything you say about your dog and then sue you..... just like the lady in the case.
Entitled white people!!!
There's a name for women like that... It starts with a K.
@@davidkline4372 💯💯
Exactly I was like completely baffled by her answer!! I sweat some elderly act like their entitled I wish judge judy has this case she would have went off I feel like JM really are lenient when it comes to elderly people
You actually listen to the peanut gallery ? Why?
A dog case with no pitbull AND both dogs were on leashes😱
Only one irresponsible owner = the plaintiff.
Plaintiff's dog was on one of those retractable leashes....they reach from 10 to 30 feet. And with her non-reaction to his warnings, her dog might as well have not been on a leash at all.
@idiggory right! The witness says she let her dog on the grass when she knew the other dog wasn't friendly. People think they automatically win if they have vet bills🤦
True ! 🤣
@RoughJustice2k18 please tell me your being sarcastic?!? Dude said his dog wasnt friendly. She decided just bc hers is that her dog is it should be close enough to get bit??
I hope you never own a dog. And i REALLY hope you don't have kids. Accountability should be for everyones actions, not just someone elses.
Also I find it mighty hilarious that every time Anita got put solidly in her place she would turn to her husband with incredulousness like "Can you believe they won't blindly accept what I feel!?"
The defendant should’ve had his legal fees paid. He was totally in the right and the more responsible dog owner. The lawsuit may not have been frivolous but he shouldn’t be out money if they ultimately settled on this show for free. This show could’ve paid those fees from their fund.
The gap is that the show is bound by the requirements of the jurisdictions the litigants reside in.
Right. I think it WAS frivolous because had she just listened to him, this would have never happened. It's like telling someone it's raining outside but they insist on not taking an umbrella and then getting upset. Ugh. Lady, with all due respect, please leave those people along.
Like judge Milan said in Florida that's the law. She explained it. Florida is like that. I know. I lived there for 50 years. Now in Memphis Tennessee with my daughter.
I was 11 when we moved there in 1970.
@@poshpearls23 just because she’s wrong doesn’t make it frivolous. She believes her account of the events even if she’s 1000% wrong.
Very good, polite, prepared defendant. They had no chance since he had every detail memorized and supported completely with evidence.
I feel bad that the little dog was injured but it's 100% the owner's fault. The defendant got shafted imo on his legal fees.
I understand his getting an attorney, because small/smaller dogs almost always get the pass, but he didn't have to, and that's also jurisdiction issue that he can't be rewarded fees because of state law.
If I’m walking my dog and you tell me not to walk by because your dog isn’t friendly, I’m just gonna cross the street or walk the other way. No way would I allow my dog to be a chew toy because I wanna be stubborn. Even when I see a quiet dog, I still avoid them. My dog is friendly but she is barky and not all dogs like that, so common sense is walk away. You can’t force dogs to be friendly to each other. Just doesn’t work that way with dogs.
Chew toy, good one.
Absolutely! And when someone tells me their dog isn't friendly, I always say "thank you so much for being responsible and letting me know." Too many people think their dogs are "just playing", when they're really aggressive.
The man stood on grass under a tree holding his dog and warned the lady that his dog is not friendly....what else could he have done?? Good grief!! 🤯🤯 Oh and the defendant looks too young to be living in a 55+ community. 🙂
You can live in a 55 community if someone in your household is disabled. A friend of my sister was only in her late 30s. But her 15 year old son was disabled so they were allowed to live there.
Boomer vs. Gen X. Gen X for the win.
I always say my dog is not friendly when I go out for a walk, and 50% of the time the other dog owner tries to force contact between the dogs. It’s infuriating how stupid people are. The woman is nuts.
I don't get it, like I want My dog to be safe, why let him get close to a dog that their owner stated is not friendly??? My dogs friendiless does not rub on an unfriendly dog and makes then friendly lol
I feel bad for the man. He clearly feels bad that the bite happened but he did warn the lady. He has remorse for the dogs but not for the owners.
I feel so bad for the bitten and now crippled dog. A 16ft leash provides little control over a pet, especially if you are not a good judge of distance. I seriously doubt the woman was far enough away from man. He also stated that the Plaintiff was on the phone, which I don't believe she denied. She likely was, as she said she didn't notice the Defendant's approach. She admits she turned her back on the dogs and kept walking to her home, just before the attack. The Defendant seemed quite believable, and his trying to physically illustrate what happened (apparently from memory), I feel added to his testimony. The Plaintiff is so wrong in this, the guy made the effort to move his dog from her path, shortened the leash, she even admits the Plaintiff did caution her that his dog was not friendly, and that her dog was able to go on the grass!
Yep. She should have retracted to the leash to be short and also could have picked up her dog and held it in her arms to avoid this whole situation. 100% her fault. I hope she learns from it but given her reaction she probably hasn't learned a damn thing.
The defendant full warned the woman not to get close because his dog is not friendly. You still found the need to get close. Unfortunately, your dog suffered an injury due to the owner’s ignorance and now it’s the defendant’s problem? How is this even court worthy? You have to use common sense when it comes to simple matters such as these.
Exactly! The amount of sheer stupidity from the plaintiffs and their witness is astounding. What these people need to understand is that at the end of the day dogs will be dogs and it only takes a split second for a dog fight to happen, regardless of how "friendly" one of the dogs may be. Friendly dogs fight one another all the time, and even more so when there is an aggressive dog involved. Dogs will default to their primary instincts when threatened and the defendant warned the plaintiff and the plaintiff chose to ignore the severity of the situation. It is this type of behavior, ignorance and negligence that will get other dogs hurt, sometimes killed, and other times wrongfully put down.
@@Julie86Mac the amount of your stupidity is insane. It’s the only owner fault, and his aggressive nasty dog.
I totally agree. It's tragic she didn't throw out the awful flex-o-leash and get her dog on a short leash (with collar high up on neck). She could've corrected her dog from sending the "let's fight" signal to other dogs. I'd bet $1000 shes never watched Cesar Millans show. Now her dog is crippled like millions of others who don't watch the show (or some other dog behavioralist). Bummer!
Well, the problem with gossip is that it could lead to the neighbors basically treating the defendant differently and possibly discriminating against them. Gossip can be a horrible thing, since usually people are more apt to believe the gossiper first, rather than finding out the truth.
I completely agree!
That's not actionable. You can't sue(and win), just because your social life is changed. There is no monetary value to social aspects of life.
The only way "gossip" can be actionable is if 1) its not true, and 2) it harms your business or your ability to make money.
If you think people gossiping about you in a social setting means you can sue them, you need to grow up.
@@carllennen3520 Indeed.
"ALL of a sudden I heard screaming and I turned around"
So... he told you his dog wasn't friendly, but you apparently ignored his warning, as well as ignoring the entire situation?
Nobody :
Judge: “I know you think you’re right, you’re not”😂😂😂🤣🤣
A quote to incorporate in day-to-day life 😆
☠️!!! 🤣!!!
I NEVER let my 3 pound teacup Yorkie near another dog. He could be killed so easily. Dogs cannot be trusted. Even the most docile dogs can become aggressive
This woman even admits that the plaintiff said his dog wasn't friendly. She should have stayed away but obviously didn't. This whole situation is her fault and she isn't a good pet owner.
That’s rough.

I agree!

I agree
@Annie497 --true he dint need a lawyer but he thought he'd be reimbursed --lol
I actually think it was a frivolous law suit. Even the witness backs up the defendant
I can't stand when you warn ppl your dog is not friendly and they insist on getting close! I have a chihuahua mix and she's now friendly with ppl but still skittish with other dogs! I've had ppl approach with little children and bigger dogs, etc trying to interaction even though my dog was visibly agitated! They think just because she's small and cute she's harmless and that is a misconception!
those tiny dogs always bark at my German shepherd.
I just don't understand the overwhelming part of the population that lose their shit when they see a dog and immediately start petting and cooing at them. Like, damn, ask the owner if you can, or if it's friendly first. I feel the same way about owners who let their dogs approach people, especially with little kids and what not, not even asking if that's ok, or studying their reaction. This just happened to me at the beach the other day. Some guy had his two dogs off leash and one of them (a pit mix) came right up to one of my sons who was just playing in the sand. I asked him if he would please call his dog back, and this douche had the nerve to ask me why with an attitude. You don't know if I or my kids have trauma from being bitten before, or are allergic, or just don't like dogs. I feel it goes both ways, you know? Some people like the plaintiff are stubborn and just inconsiderate. This guy took the time to warn her, SEVERAL times. Could he have moved away, too, or had his dog partially or fully muzzled? Yeah. But he did more than most dog owners who have attacked on this show have done.
I was an obedience ring steward at a big AKC show when I suddenly heard a commotion break out right behind me. Just outside the ring a Great Dane owner and a Sheltie owner had accidentally let their dogs get too close and the Sheltie was airborne in the Dane's mouth. Thankfully it only took a couple of seconds to separate them, but the Sheltie owner got bitten clear through his hand - by his OWN panicked Sheltie! We the show committee and the AKC Representative reviewed the footage someone had taken of the incident, and it turns out the Dane owner had tripped over a support wire, dropping the Dane's leash. It was a no fault situation. We always have a veterinarian on site in case something happens, and thankfully the Sheltie turned out to be OK, just had a few scuffs and bruises. At shows fights are rare because we know our big male dogs don't like each other, especially in the presence of in heat females, so we give each other plenty of space and turn our dogs away from each other if we see a stare down starting. This is why we don't allow pet dogs owned by the public on site. They are the ones who cause the trouble by thinking their dog can be friends with everybody. The worst dogfights I've ever seen, with multiple combatants, were in PetSmart in Houston. Pet owners didn't understand the capabilities of their dogs or the dogs of others. I watched one intense brawl consisting of two Chows and one Rottie roll up one aisle and down another. It took half a dozen people to get them away from each other. Miraculously no one was bitten doing this. The public needs to get a lot smarter.
I'm a big scaredy cat. I'd have scooped up my dog and went around. And thats what I'd do if you said your dog is friendly.
SAME....lol....i do that too. my dog is little but reactive. i pick him up to hold him so that he doesn't get the other dog fired up with his shenanigans. i don't even ask, i assume every dog isn't friendly, cause dogs gonna dog. i cross the street, tighten up leashes and when all else fails pick him up.

Wow Anita is SO OBLIVIOUS that she had a hand in this
I so agree with the judge, he plainly said to her, his dog was not friendly, and she says, mine is, how obsurd. Also, the neighbor on the video also stated, he made a second statement saying , my dog may bite. The lady still moved forward, I can not imagine what she was thinking.

"We don't punish dogs we punish people" if only this was universal, dogs are never in the fault, they don't know reason or human laws and norms, they are our responsibility
I am amazed how many people commented that the guy should not be walking his dog in the public. This shows pure ignorance how dogs behave and how irresponsible people are. Each owner should start by being reaponsible for their dog and learn how to handle the dog. Even if the dog is the best behaved and sweetest dog in the world, it can still be triggered by litteraly any event at a given time, place, intensity etc. This is where the owner's responsibility lies - you should be able to handle your dog, recognize cues and recognize if the dog is feeling anxious or unsure as they will 99% react. And when you do see that potentially the outcome will be unfavourable, speak up as the man did, and warn people. The other party should also listen and take caution. Same thing goes with kids who start running towards a dog just because it is cute - imagine you had 10 giants running towards you that you have never seen in your life; you would be anxious and scared, too. Majority of dogs will retrieve and start backing away but if they feel they have no escape, they will attack to defenf themselves - this is a natural behaviour.
I once petted a dog that the owner warned us might be a little skittish. Was friendly until I guess I hit a bad spot on her and she whipped around and gave me a quick nip. Owner apologized but never did it cross my mind to blame him or his dog.
The judge is right 10000%, one time is enough to be warned....the gentleman did everything right...warned her, had full control of his dog, and then she was like oh well.....and let her dog get to close.....
One of my favorite episodes. It always surprises me when I hear the plaintiff speak. Part of me feels bad and the other part gets me so annoyed that she doesn’t understand lol. More likely than not she has been this way her who life 😞
Great ruling by the judge as usual! The defendant's testimony also seemed genuine. He recanted the events with clarity- that one picture was also a good piece of evidence. I agree that he should have gotten his legal fees paid, but I guess the Judge has to follow the law in the state in which the case is filed. JM didn't think the case was frivolous, especially given the extent of the dog's injuries.
Of course a judge has to follow the law. Are you kidding?
“He wasn’t that close to my dog” yet there was extensive damage from CONTACT. 🙄
We have a dog that is fear aggressive because she has been attacked very badly before. We tell people that she is people friendly, but NOT dog friendly and some people say the exact thing that this lady did "oh my dog is friendly, it is fine." They will not listen. When we say "please get your dog" and "please give our dog space" they ignore us. We now have to walk our dogs singly so we can lift her (50lbs!) in case another owner refuses to keep their dog away from us.
We don't take her camping anymore in part because other people let their dogs wander without supervision "because they are friendly"
10:27 -- Anita, what are you thinking??!! This was your and Joseph's evidence -- all that did was help Mike and Kim!! Mike gave a friendly warning that his dog wasn't friendly and could bite your dog!! Why is that not a sign to keep you dog under control and away from his dog, lady??!! Y'all rightfully need to eat your vet costs, you assumed the risk of your dog getting injured by not heeding the neighborly warning!!
Why cant ppl pay attention and be respectfull when someone in a polite way tell them NOT to come close cos their dog is not friendly,( meaning may be dangerous to your dog)!
keep your dangerous dog home then
@@dramanot Some dogs are not dog friendly but are people friendly. Regardless, dogs needs exercise and have to relieve themselves. The plantiff should have taken precautions and avoided the non-friendly dog.
@@dramanot He had his dog under control. She allowed her dog to come so close it brushed the back of his legs. That's on her. On the other hand, I believe he should work with a trainer to tone down that agression. Cause it's just trouble waiting to happen.
@@dramanot Every dog needs to be outside.We both understand that.. I hope!! And the owner did a good job!! Both with his dog and in the situation.
I have a superfriendly dog, she dont need to be on leash. She is like a robot doing what I tell her. Ppl are laughing when she walks, stop, wait, waiting for the cars to go, lay down to welcome other dogs etc. And she is my first dog, trained her all by myself (using fb and Google if I needed help, and I was really ON ppl to ask if she could meet their dog, to social). But!! Not all ppl act like this guy when they have an agressive dog. I always read other dogs and ppl. we all need to! And every dog owner should be as responsable as this guy. He told her, he was waiting for Anita and her dog to pass, he held his dog... if a dog attacs my dog but no serious harm happens, I always ask the owner if we can meet again soon, like in 30 minutes when we all are calm. That always work! No trauma or bad memories when they meet and we try to do it again in another way. If the other dog is dangerous we stay safe but at least they can see eachother and maybe my dog can see ME touching the other dog.. she is 8 now and we have handeled every "bad" situation like this. She is the happiest dog I have seen!! ( yes I am bragging..no need to bark and no need to yell! Thats me and Molly 😊😉)
Bless
@@dramanot my dog ISNT here for you to pet or play with..if I say stay back....then STAY BACK. I can walk her in public if I please.
First of all, the defendant doesn't look like he's old enough to be in a 55 plus community. Aside from a few grey strands in his beard, he could pass for 40 barely. Secondly, Granny is off her rocker, lol.
Looks can be deceiving. You can dye hair, you know. Also people are taking better care of themselves these days. I've seen some 50 year olds who can pass for 35.
I came to the comments looking for someone else who was thinking this!
If he shaved that goatee, he could pass for 35-40!
Sometimes these communities allow younger people if they are disabled or live with a 55+ person
Shiba Inu are so freaking adorable! I would love to adopt/ rescue one at some point. “Do not come closer, my dog is not friendly.” It is her fault her dog got hurt, the defendant warned her to stay away!
They’re mean
@@alishashadows9599 Shiba Inu are mean? I had not heard that but I have only ever met 1 and she was a therapy dog.
@@alishashadows9599 They're not. Shiba inus are just very independent. Raised right though, like with any other dog they can become fluffy little angels
They aren’t very social or nice lol
Stubborn but loyal
You can tell this guy is honest and is so frustrated. Just because your dog is nice doesn't mean you keep walking!
I think the plaintiff saw a sweet and innocent looking Shiba and thought there’s no way that cute dog will bite my cute dog lol LISTEN to the owners when they tell you their dog isn’t friendly!!!!
I think she just old and slow and oblivious
Warning of an unfriendly dog or not, you don’t leave your leash so long that your dog can wander up to other dogs or people. That dog is not in your control and not everyone enjoys being appoached by people’s dogs.
Bottom line is, when somebody tells you that their dog is not friendly, ESPECIALLY if that dog is bigger than yours, you listen to their warning and keep your distance. It doesn’t matter whether or not your dog is friendly, that other one is not and could potentially kill your canine.
This would happen to me with my last dog. He was a rescue from a dog fighting ring and of course was taught to be aggressive to other dogs. When I would walk him if I saw another dog I would just cross the street. He unfortunately bit another dog once while I had him because someone had their dog off leash and wouldn’t listen to me when I told them to get their dog away. I felt so terrible for the other dog! I love animals. My dog passed away 12 years ago. He was so sweet to people and cats. Just not dogs.
The defendants don’t look old enough to live in a 55+ community.
I was thinking the same thing.
I was LOOKING for THIS comment 😂
He may just have good genes..
@@nakela2 I think they were Levi Strauss.
I think he was just walking through.
It wasn't a pit bull. That's new. I hope the little dog has a decent quality of life. Your owner should have done a better job of keeping you safe.
I was looking for this comment: I was going to say the same thing
I think that’s a big part of why the lady disregarded his warning. If it were a pit, she probably walked the opposite way with her little Yorkie mix lol
Any dog can be reactive or aggressive. My oldest dog is reactive and he's a jack russel x Cairn Terrier mix.
That woman is totally responsible for what happened. The guy told the truth, and the woman’s witness actually hurt her case because her statement supported the defendant.
she is at fault. Period. She should have listened when he said his dog wasn't friendly. I wish the judge would have given him the legal fees he was suing for.
I’ve straight up told people, “my dog will bite you. Don’t try to pet her.” Tell me when they lean down to pet her…
As someone with an unfriendly dog, if anyone gets near us when I'm with him, I automatically tell them that he's unfriendly and get in-between them and him. I try to walk him in places that aren't frequented often and keep him on a 6ft leash (sturdy) so he's always within eyesight. He's a good boy, just doesn't like new people
Maybe the unfriendly dog owner should pick up their dog.
That guy is one thousand percent Canadian. 🇨🇦
Eh?
Yes! I heard that accent! 😂
Omg I love the "we don't punish dogs". Wish this would be true everywhere but sadly its not... I personally hate when I see people hiking with unleashed dogs that say " it's ok my dog is friendly". Stupid people don't need pets.
I laugh every time Judge says "its not a friendly peanut" lolll
Defendant was holding his dog by a harness the lady had the dog on a long leash it's so clearly her fault. She could have pulled the leash in on such a little dog.. She's got to be delusional.
Good grief! If someone tells you their dog is NOT friendly you DO NOT continue walking toward them. You go to the opposite side of the street and avoid them for the safety of YOUR dog! She endangered her own dog's life.
If someone on my left says "My dog isn't friendly" I would instantly put my dog on my right side and shorten the lead.
I get the feeling nothing has ever been that lady's fault in her entire life. She's insufferable.
Somehow this woman has bumbled through life, without listening to others, and made it to old age..
I feel the defendant. Been in this situation where people insist on either petting your dog or wanting their dog to interact with yours. She was warned. I hate that the dog was injured.
It pisses me off that the dog was injured because of her fucking ego and stupidity and bullshit I hate hate hate humans dude. That poor fucking dog. She should be imprisoned for criminally negligent dog abuse or something
Man we have so many dog cases on the peoples court. So many irresponsible dog owners in the world it’s crazy. There is a reason I’m not a fan of dogs unfortunately
It's not the dog's fault, it's the owner's fault...
I am a new dog owner and my God these court dog cases has taught me so much!!
I'm right there with ya. I was bit twice on the face by a dog when I was little. Ever since then I am scared of dogs because in the end they are animals who can't communicate. Good or bad owners don't know what a dog is feeling and when it might flip out due to stress, unknown injury, etc. I want to own a big dog but I'll never trust it. I do have a dog that's 1.5 lbs but she can't even jump off the bed by herself so I trust her. That's about as far as I go lol 😆
@@honestyisadyingvirtue Actually, dogs do a lot of communicating. But it's kind of like a foreign language. If you don't speak french and the guy yells "l' incendie" it isn't going to help you out a lot.
@@bluepuppy1139 well yes of course they do and I'm sure dog owners will say "oh I know what my dog is feeling" yadda yadda. Its the same way it's hard to know what babies want even though we may tuned into certain cries. You can never know 100% and that's just not a percentage I want to gamble with.
The dog case plaintiff had the judge FED UP! Lol. JM said “Anita” like 30 times 😂
I feel bad for the couple with the dog that was injured but at the same time I believe the defendant. Even the plaintiffs own witness said that the defendant had warned them at least twice that the dog was not friendly. I don’t think the plaintiff realized that she was walking right into her own undoing when she admitted that her dog walked up on the grass while she was walking away. It’s definitely hard to admit when you are at fault for something so tragic and avoidable.
People are unbelievably stupid about dogs. “Leash them!!! “My dog isn’t friendly”. “Well my dog is” WTF!?!?
THIS LADY CAN'T CONTROL A 9 POUND DOG??? PICKITUP!!!!
the defendant looks good to be living in a 55 and up community!
I'm not sure what the laws are in Florida, but here in Hawaii your dog's leash can't be longer than 6' if you're out walking your dog. Those long retractable leashes are an invitation for trouble. They give your dog way too much freedom for a walk down the sidewalk.
He told her his dog was not friendly and she said so what mine is. What a nasty woman. She was wrong. My dog is not friendly is enough for me to take my dog across the street. I also do no use those long leashes, they do nothing to control a dog. She was wrong but thinks she is right. I have a feeling she is a drama Queen in their community.
Judge’s advice at the end is priceless.
the old lady put her dog in a dangerous situation then she has the stupidity to sue the one person who warned her not to come close to his dog.
"I know you think you're right, you're not." I'm going to use that line.
That must be his dressy t-shirt.
😂lol
Why is Doug always such a savage?! 'Learn how to control your dog!' '...Well, apparently not. ' 'Ma'am. We heard the case. ' I CANNOT with him! 💀💀😂😂
It's awful that pets have to suffer from owners who take no responsible for actions like that. The dog will now be in pain for the rest of his life JUST because his owner ignored a warning from another owner, just because she thought she was in the right. Poor dog
Doug is so petty! “Apparently not.” 🤣 I feel bad that poor little doggie was hurt so bad. I’m glad he survived, unfortunately he will be crippled.
Shiba Inu's are independent in nature, they don't often "kiss up" like most breeds. My Neighbor own's an Akita-Inu, a larger version of the Shiba, but still relatively still similar in nature, and that dog, she does not listen and does her own thing 24/7, pretty much like a Cat.
Also, sometimes Old folks are the best liars, because often do they play that card. or they are just simply senile and thin they are in the right like what the Judge said.
When this first started I thought defendant’s dog was unleashed . Flabbergasted this plaintiff had the nerve to take him to court 🤦🏻♀️
I have to say, two of my "pet peeves"😁 are those extended leads when you are around other people and dogs, and not listening to owners saying "my dog is NOT friendly". My dog is a sweetheart, she never barks, she has lots of doggo friends, but she is a rescue dog, and has some anxiety issues. I'm all over it and completely tuned into her, so I can pre-empt accordingly, as this man did. Mine hates dogs that come bounding out in a hurry amd rush at her with bad doggo manners. She will accommodate, the wide circle, the tentative sniff, the act slightly disinterested, or the bow of "would you like to play with me ?" all with a wagging tale. What she wont do, is the run at her face, the aggressive stance, the charge, and the im going to stick my nose up your clacker. I get it 🤷🏼♀️😆. She prefers the slow and steady approach 😆 and then a friend is a friend for always with her. I have to compensate all the time for badly mannered people and their badly mannered dogs, and I'm prepared to do that to a point, but...... when the dog AND the owner have no clue, it usually doesnt go well for at least one of them. 🤦🏼♀️😆
