As the mother of a dog pack, Diane understands where dog bite victims AND dog owners are coming from. For the dog owner, it can be a nightmare. For the victim, it can cause lifelong scarring, injury, and trauma. Often, bite victims love dogs and have dogs of their own. It’s rarely about punishing the dog, it’s about compensating the victim for the injuries and trauma they face. It’s often an uncomfortable process for bite victim and dog owner alike. Diane’s advocacy takes all of this into consideration. Her advice? Dog owners should invest in dog liability insurance and ensure their particular dog breed is covered. They should also cross their T’s and dot their i’s and not get careless, even if their dogs have never exhibited concerning behavior. Finally, if a bite does occur, dog owners should react with care and concern rather than deny it or brush it off as nothing. Compassion goes a long way.
