This has absolutely nothing to do with animal law - moving to consumer protection.

Dogs are not arraigned. You need an attorney versed in dog attacks.

The time to act is when the defect is noted, by taking the dog to a vet for an examination and report; not 18 months later.

"my dog took off out of our yard and ran and only jumped on his dog and scared it." Meaning you are at fault and would be responsible for all...

This is a landlord/tenant issue - moving accordingly.

You need to retain counsel to sort this out. Use the Avvo search tool and/or your county bar association to find one.

Already asked and answered. Once is sufficient.

Moving to family, as this is between sisters. As regards your dog, bring a replevin action against her. Punctuation was developed for a reason....

1. You fail to state a question. 2. The appeal process is certainly printed on the citation.

Moving to lawsuits and disputes, as you would need to bring a replevin action or its IN equivalent to actually recover the animals.
