Re: dog kills another dog
While I sympathize with your loss of your dog, you can't sue a dog. And as to your neighbor, you would have to prove he did some intentional act, or that he was negligent in failing to do something that he had a legal duty to do, that caused the death of your dog in order to have a court hold him liable for your damages.
Unfortunately, it's that kind of a world.
