To those of you who think a 13 lb dog can't cause 1100 bucks of damage to a car, my wife hit a 5lb pheasant and did 600 bucks worth and this was 20 years ago when prices were a lot lower. $1100 is quite easy to sustain in today's inflated economy. The owner of the dog should be responsible, owners of livestock have always been liable for damage to cars, why not dog owners?

They are not sacred and I am glad this guy is going to court over this, the owner of said dog should have paid up without a squawk since her dog caused the accident due to her carelessness.

We(FReepers)are always talking about taking responsibility for one's actions but some of us think that doesn't apply when it is a dog(or name of your favorite animal here)owner that needs to suck it up and own up to their obligations.

Actually the $1,100 is for damage to his car, time he had to take off from his two jobs to get the car repaired, and court fees. There is no breakdown on how much the actual car damage was?
