Very possibly not. First you'd have to prove that the sole cause of the incident was their dog and not yours, that the dog had previously shown violent propensities, that if the fence was yours that you had properly maintained it, that it was reasonable to have your dog loose in the yard etc. Also since the law treats pets as property, the measure of damages may be the smaller of the dollar value of the dog or the meds which could mean a tiny recovery. Make a claim on their homeowners policy and see how it goes.
