Did you bring a lawsuit? In such a situation you don't need to rely on the kindness of people's hearts.

Yes, I did, no result. First bite is free!

If animal has no documented history of attacks, owner has no way to know their aggressive animal could harm people. And they are not responsible!

It probably wasn't even the first bite. Most victims of dog bites are friends of a biting dog's owner, with implicit (and sometimes explicit) pressure not to report. I've met people whose dogs have bit as many as seven people without having a formal bite record.

I assume they put the dog down though? My understanding is that's what happens in these cases.
