Realtor left door unlocked and a trespassers dog ripped through my fence and attacked my dog.
so the house next to ours is vacant. yesterday, a guy on a walk with his two dogs walked up to the backyard gate and just walked into the backyard. there is a small gap in the fence and his pitbull stuck his head through and my Australian shephard went and they both got into it. the pitbull ripped the gap wider (we presume) and my dog went through to the other side while my puppy stayed in our yard and cried for us. I wasn’t home but my partner was and eventually checked it out (he thought it was our dogs barking at the neighborhood cats as usual). anyway it took a while to break the fights up, and my dog has 4 punctures and one of them is clearly infected and leaking pus so we have to take him to the vet. I called the company and complained about them leaving the property open, even threatening to lock it up myself. Can they be held liable and pay us back for these fees?
