Uncle was hit by a dog and broke his bone. Should dog owners undertake the follow-up treatment for the elderly?

At the end of August, 68-year-old Uncle Chen in Chengdu was knocked down by two pet dogs in the same community when he went downstairs for a walk after dinner, resulting in a fracture of his left shoulder and hip bone. The owners of two pet dogs visited Uncle Chen in the hospital and paid part of the hospitalization expenses. However, this money is far from enough for Uncle Chen's treatment. Mr. Chen's wife, Ms. Xie, found the dog owner, hoping that the other party could write a letter of guarantee to pay for Mr. Chen's early treatment and later rehabilitation, but she was rejected by the dog owner. In my opinion, these two dog owners have the obligation and responsibility to bear all the hospitalization expenses and follow-up treatment expenses of Uncle Chen.

Articles 78 to 80 of China's Tort Liability Law stipulate that "if the raised animals cause damage to others, the animal keeper or manager shall bear the tort liability. In violation of management regulations, if safety measures are not taken for animals, causing damage to others, the animal keeper or manager shall bear tort liability. "

In this incident, although Mr. Yao's dog didn't touch and hit Uncle Chen, his dog didn't lead the dog out, which was also caused by his dog running at will. Although Ms. Dong's dog was tied to the leash, it did not control the dog's behavior because of the long leash, which caused the dog to knock down Uncle Chen and cause a fracture injury.

Because two dog owners failed to take safety measures, Uncle Chen was injured and fractured. There is no doubt that the two dog owners should share the hospitalization expenses and other related expenses of Uncle Chen. No matter whether the dog owner signs the guarantee or not, the responsibility cannot be extrapolated. If the three parties fail to negotiate, Uncle Chen's family can also solve the problem by suing the other party.

At present, there are not a few people who keep pet dogs. When you take your pet out, you must take protective measures, which is not only a guarantee for the personal safety of others, but also a constraint on yourself and your dog.
