My Dog Killed Another Dog
I adopted a 7 year old German Shepherd about 4 months ago where she used to live on a farm. Yesterday on a walk with my friend and his dog she randomly attacked another little terrier dog and killed it (according to my mate, not 100%) and its been on my mind ever since but worst case scenario what can happen? My mate said the dogs leg was hanging off despite me puttin my hands in my dogs jaw to seperate them and all i seen was deep teeth wounds with some blood. He also said the vet bill was £2000 which leads me to believe hes not telling the truth. My dog has never attacked a dog before and i dont know what made her tick. It also confuses me that my dog was completely fine around my mates dog.
Also, whilst trying to seperate the dogs, the terrier turnt around and bit my knee and i needed a new tetanus injection.
By law, where do i stand?

Not quite sure who the owner of the dog that was killed was and how your friend knew what the vets bill was - perhaps you could clarify that

This post does not make sense - in one breath you are saying your mate walked the dog and in another breath you are saying the terrier turned on you!!
If your dog did the damage to the terrier then £2000 is feasible, the dog could have died despite heroic measures by the vet - you would still be responsible.
There is a reason that farm got rid of a 7 year old bitch!!
