Our backyard is fully fenced, but one side was put up by the neighbor instead of us. That side is falling apart with several broken boards. My dog was playing in the backyard, jumped up at a bird, and landed on a broken part of fence with an exposed metal bracket. The bracket ripped through skin and muscle, and left a large laceration on my dog’s chest, which required an emergency vet visit and stitches. Do we have any legal standing for recovering vet costs from the neighbor? Or for having them replace/repair the fence?

Animal control claims that they have the right to fix my dog because they got loose, went across the street and laid down in my neighbor's yard. Animal control said they have the right to fix my dog, before the 72-hour deadline Please let me know what I can do.

I had an NCO from the State on my son. I could not return to my home for 3 weeks! My son and his girlfriend gave my dog away without my knowledge and permission. I am suing the person with my dog. Will the Judge give me back my dog?

I left an abusive situation where my girlfriend was rageful to me and told me to leave her house. I was staying with her, although I also had my apartment that I was paying rent for. We had bought a dog together, but she is on the papers for registration. After she kicked me out, now she is saying that I owe half of the vet bills going forward and half of caring for the dog going forward. Is this true? I am unable to take the dog so she will need to take the dog, rehome it or sell it. She is basically using this to try to keep in contact with me. I do not want to have any further contact with her? What do I need to do?
