When you are bitten by someone else's dog, who is to blame: you, the owner of the dog, or the dog itself? Take a look at what Terence Pillay has to say in today's The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Cindy van Wyk was violently attacked by a neighbour’s bull terrier while she was visiting her friend who lived in a granny flat on someone else’s property.
According to Cindy, the owner of the dog let the animal loose before going off to work and as she left her friend’s house, she was attacked and bitten on her hands, legs, crotch and stomach. (see pictures below)
She tried contacting the owner but, she says, he refuses to accept any responsibility.
