Does the Victim Have to Prove that the Owner ACTUALLY Knew Their Dog Was Vicious?
It is not required that a victim of a dog attack actually prove that the owner KNEW the dog had vicious propensities. That would be very difficult to prove what someone else actually knew. Rather, the victim must prove that that dog had certain vicious propensities. If the vicious propensities shown are enough, the court or jury will decide for the injured person based on the idea that a “reasonable person” would have known that their pet had vicious propensities.
