Depending on other facts, you may have a cause of action if you relied on their promises in making he purchase. If you need help, you can email me at [email protected].
Re: dog bite
I wouldnt say you have much of a case. As the old saying goes, even though it was only 16 hours, it was still "your dog, Charlie Brown." At the time of the biting you were the owner and keeper, not the person who sold it to you, thereby taking you out of the realm of a strict liability dog bite case.
You might find a lawyer who would take the breach of contract theory on an hourly basis, but I just dont see much there at all.
Good luck.
