Theoretical question

[chazza]

After watching some children recently in a carpark I wondered what the law is in the following situation:

A vehicle is parked with a dog in the back seat. The back window is open but there is some kind of a grill inside the back window to stop the dog being able to get out. the bars of the grill go horizontally and vertically and are about 2 inches wide.

If a child was to stick it's finger through the grill (as the ones I saw were doing) and got bitten by the dog, would they be able to report the dog as being a dangerous dog, or would it have been their own fault for "trespassing" in the window of the vehicle

i think that it would be their own fault.

our pet dog once bit a neighbour who had entered our back garden without permission and was shouting at my mum.

the case was dismissed as the dog had been protecting my mum and the property.

I would think that a child poking its fingers in the car window is doing same as my neighbour did.

The child would deffo be at fault. Do you normally let your child go up to cars in the street?

Thanks redcrx, that's what I was wondering!

Fadeout whose children were you referring to?
