Pet owners not responsible for dinner party dog bite, B.C. Supreme Court rules

A Vancouver woman who sued her friends after being bitten in the face by their rescue dog at a 2017 dinner party had her case dismissed by the B.C. Supreme Court earlier this month.

Berry and Anderson got Bones from a rescue organization in the spring of 2017. The year-and-a-half old mixed breed dog was originally from Thailand and was missing one of its front legs. In response, Berry and Anderson said they took Bones to two trainers and a veterinarian to get help, which they said improved his behaviour. They also stopped taking Bones to dog parks and had an appointment booked with a behaviourist when the dinner party bite happened.On Nov. 11, 2017, Berry and Anderson had a small group of friends over for dinner. All the friends testified that the evening went well, and that they had no concerns about Bones’ behaviour.

A later hospital discharge record said Evans sustained a 3-inch C-shaped cut to her forehead and 2-inch cut to the left side of her face.

This is corrosive, because tradition has a secondary place in the modern world, really, for everyone in Canada. 'Flying to Ottawa'?
