Exercise Hypothetical
Margaret Van Meter owns an 80 lb. Doberman Pinscher named Peanut. Peanut has never bitten anyone, but he is known around the neighborhood for growling, barking, and snapping at people who pass by the Van Meter property. Last week Alison Flynn came to Van Meter’s door to deliver a package. When Van Meter opened the door to Flynn, Peanut lunged through the door and bit Flynn in the face. Is Van Meter liable for Flynn’s injuries?
