If liability is being based on dog ownership, you would have to file a motion to dismiss based upon an affidavit that you are not the dog owner. The reason you were probably included is that the injured party just doesn't know who is liable and is taking pot-shots at whoever might be. Don't do this alone, however. And if you have homeowner's or renter's insurance, that might help cover the cost of defense.
