Aggressive dog breeds such as pit bulls have become popular pets. Therefore it is much more common to see them living in residential areas. The owners of these dogs are legally responsible to understand that they are much more likely to attack and hurt another dog or person than less aggressive breeds. If they fail to restrain their dog in the proper manner and he attacks and injures another dog or person, then the dog owner is considered negligent. A Dog Bite Attorney in Milwaukee will make it clear in their lawsuit that they can’t claim that because the dog had never attacked anyone before, they had no reasonable expectation that the dog might act aggressively.
