You're making a leap that this was more of a "nip" than a 3 course meal. All we know is that the dog was put down. So more likely a serious bite. This could have caused life changing injuries for all we know. It's not particularly relevant to the question about insurance but your throwaway comment is based on a huge assumption.

I would be totally gutted if my dog was put to sleep, I definitely wouldn't be posting/talking about money if that had happened.

If someone is suing you then you don't have a choice to not think about money.

We don't know the circs but things have changed generally with people being much more litigious than when you were a kid.

I repeat, if my dog had been put to sleep, I wouldn't be posting/talking about money. Beforehand maybe, if I could somehow buy his freedom.

More to the point, if you search the OP's posting history, you will not find any mention of despair over losing his dog.

Hi thanks for comments. Dog was put to sleep 3 weeks ago straight after incident. We rehomed him 12 years ago and he has always been challenging.

I was gutted as were partner and daughter, incident was unpleasant he bit a ladies lip requiring 14 stitches.

As we have a daughter and young children around we took the difficult decision to put down our dog.

I’ve not posted anything about despair as this is a money saving site.

Thanks again to constructive comments.
