    I hope the girl whose dog was knocked down on the finglas side of the new railway bridge in finglas got home all right and is OK. I did nt get her name as she was very upset. In fairness the driver involved in the accident stopped and came back to offer his assistance

    I’m trying to find a point to this post. Maybe you should knock on doors in Finglas to find her and ask.

    The Poster is only trying to help a distressed pet and it’s owner.

    Shove your sneering condescending attitudes up your high holes.

    She was lucky that he wasn't claiming for damage to his car.

    I knocked down a dog in Finglas about a year ago.
    Slipped it's lead and ran under my wheel. The owner was lucky it didn't cause my car any damage.

    The alternate version....I stopped and the owner has the dog on the grass verge where it died. Nothing I could do except commiserate with the owner , Had kids in the car so I had to keep going.

    My Son asked if they'd put it in a box and bring it to the church like happened his granny a week previous.

    Might get better response in Finglas forum op, I think it's a sub of Dublin. Sorry to hear all the same and hope she is alright.

    Jesus, if some heartless bastard ran my dog over and then said he was suing me I don't know what my response would be but doubtful it would be pleasant.

    What should the motorist be out of pocket cause you can’t control your dog?

    And in a hypothetical situation how have you come to that conclusion?

    I've had one near miss with a ****ing clown while walking my leashed dog across a pedestrian crossing on a green man. Some plank not paying attention comes around corner and almost hits her. How, in this situation would that have been my fault if his brakes weren't as good and I hadn't nearly strangled the poor dog with the yank on the lead I gave her?

    And that's how it is for 93% of all dogs killed on the road. :rolleyes:

    I was referring to the hypothetical I gave where I said I'd be pissed off at someone hitting my dog and looking for damages. You assumed it would be my fault.

    I then gave an actual example.

    All these hypotheticals are confusing you. Try re-reading the thread to help you keep up.

    Believe what you like. Or do you think everyone in a car stops at red lights?

    He seems to be making it up as he goes along to suit his argument.

    Why would I make a story up about someone ignoring a red light? I probably see it at least once a week at the same junction.

    We believe that in your particular example the motorist was fault.

    But in cases where the motorist is not at fault and the dog is not under control of its owner, the owner is liable for any damage to the vehicle.

    These type of collisions will account for the vast majority of motor v dog collisions.
