If a dog bit you or a member of your family, you have a right to pursue financial compensation from the owner of the animal and, possibly, other responsible parties. For example, a landlord may be considered negligent for allowing a tenant to keep an aggressive breed of dog.

However, it doesn't matter if you were attacked by a Pitt Bull or a Pekinese. If you were in a public place or lawfully on another person's property when the dog attack occurred, you can claim damages in civil court. A dog owner is liable, regardless of whether the dog had ever been vicious before; and regardless of whether the owner had reason to believe the dog would behave in a vicious manner.
