I got home to barrage of messages from the neighbor and animal control. My legal aid spoke with the cat lady and animal control and they said if I agree to pay $500 they wouldn't pursue it any further. My LA did her homework, she showed how I'm in no way responsible, that according to the by-laws there is no way I can be legally responsible, in my county there is no BSL in effect/affect,there is NO law about removing a dog etc... and then she told the ac officer if she so much as looks in my general direction she would have her job for basically lying and trying to bully me, of course she said it in much more legal terms, but that was the jist. The only thing that kind of back fired was I did agree to pay vet bills when the "attack" first happened, I was in shock, and I felt bad for her. In the end I only had to pay $250 out of the $1,100 bill and Lady gets to come home safe and sound. It's a good day.
