Q: Hello, I purchased a 8 week old french bull dog and just found out it has CHF and will die within the year.
Purchase dog in MASS dog from NY. seller owns dog training business which is place of purchase. They will refund money if I give the dog back. obviously we are attached to the dog and want to keep her. we have experienced much pain and suffering and I have big medical bills. they said unaware of dogs illness. also, dog had injuries to her leg and paws which could be abuse, but cant prove it. Is there a law to protect us? Statute of limitation? thanks
A: I am so sorry to hear about your dog. The first place to look would be the contract to see what options are listed there. There might be a 93A Consumer Protection case but you would need to consult with an attorney on the specific facts to see if that avenue is open to you.
