Just wondering, I have stumbled across an exam question on animals liability..
how liable is a dog handler for walking an unmuzzled pit bull terrior, when the dog caused bodily harm to a passer by?
The owner of the dog is not mentioned in the question, but I would presume the owner is more liable than the handler, or is this so?

Thanks so much
