Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
I was out on a walk and a lady was walking her German shepherd in the other direction. I scooted over as far as I could to the other side of the side walk but as I passed the dog bit me in my thigh. I had a pocket knife legal for open carry. Can I legally stab it?

You mean go back and stab it now? Why don't you go get some medical attention?

First if you did nothing to provoke the dog you would have a claim against the owner of the German Shepard for damages. If you are attacked by a dog you can use reasonable force to defend yourself. If you have information concerning the owner of the dog and wish to pursue a claim feel free to call my office. 818 345 0123
