When I investigate a dog attack, one thing I want to know is whether animal control had ever received complaints about that dog before. Prior reports involving growling chasing, lunging, escaping, or attacking can become important evidence. They may help show that the owner knew or should have known the dog posed a risk. Those records are not always obvious, and they may be held by a municipality or animal control agency. In a serious dog attack case, the dog’s history can be just as important as what happened on the day of the attack. I am Pennsylvania dog attack attorney Jeff Pennys.
