Hot Bench Season 6 Episode 91 Bite Taken Out of Junebug the Chihuahua?!

A woman brings a lawsuit against her neighbor for their dog attacking her beloved chihuahua, Junebug. The plaintiff claims that the defendant's dog, a larger mixed-breed, was not properly restrained and entered her yard, attacking and injuring her small dog. The defendant argues that their dog was restrained and that the plaintiff's dog provoked the attack. The judge and two legal experts on the Hot Bench must sift through conflicting testimonies and evidence, including veterinary records and eyewitness accounts, to determine who is responsible for the attack and to what extent. Through the questioning of witnesses and analysis of forensic evidence, the Hot Bench panel must determine damages for the plaintiff and ask if there were any previous warnings issued about the defendant’s dog. As both parties argue their case, the judges must determine the question of responsibility ultimately, while keeping in mind public safety and the animal rights.
