If his insurance company is requesting it and it is placing his coverage in jeopardy, it is reasonable. Your lease will set forth what the landlord may or may not request of you. However, unless you have some reason to refuse, it is not worth the trouble.
We have proof of her standing in front of our house deliberately taunting our dogs. Along with every letter she sent threatening us with the police and animal control. Do we have a harassment claim against her?

Whether this rises to the level of harassment will be a judgment call by the police or a local prosecutor. However, it may be a good idea to get her actions on record as a preemptive measure before she makes a complaint to the police. If your dogs are barking a lot and disturbing the... View More

If the vet is a member of the New York State Veterinary Medical Society, you should file a complaint with them. They will investigate faster than the appropriate state agency. Their complaint can be found at:

I assume you mean that he sold the puppies. If that is the case, you would need to demonstrate that you had an agreement to sell the puppies and split the profits.

In New York, if you go to Court, the judge will decide what is best for all concerned. This is very fact sensitive. The process can take some time and the dog will generally stay where it is until the case is resolved.

You did the right thing offering to pay for the damages caused by your dog. As for the new charge, that is a judgment call. An argument can be made that this is related to the injuries caused by your dog. However, if the owner did not take proper precautions to prevent reinjury, you should not... View More

When you legally sell something, you give up your rights to it in exchange for some form of consideration. In this case, money. Regret is not a valid reason to void the transaction.

She may not get rid of your dog just for the excesssive barking, but your neighbor may have a private nuisance claim against you on the ground that your dog interfered with his right to quiet use and enjoyment of his property. Your neighbor has the burden of proof.

A case may be made that your friend abandoned the dog. If you refuse to give the dog back, your friend will have to get a court order, proving the dog was not abandoned and that your friend can provide a better situation for the dog. New York has a “best for all concerned” standard.

Assuming that this is a serious question, we recommend a review of New York Consolidated Laws, Penal Law - PEN § 155.05 where "Larceny" is defined.

I’m not sure what type of notice you received. If you are doing something in violation of your lease, the normal process is to serve you with a Notice to Cure. That gives you a short time to correct the offending condition. A Notice to Terminate your lease would be inappropriate if this is the... View More

You should avoid hurting an animal if possible. If you are attacked you can use force to stop the attack and to avoid further injury.
The truth to me. If it happens not to be registered is there any actions I could take against the breeders? I was looking to breed this dog and it has to be registered and pure bred.

1. Ask for the credentials in advance and check with AKC
2. Make sure the Bill of Sale indicates it is pure bred.
3. If you don’t trust this breeder, find another one.
You can bring action for breach of contract and fraud if it turns out to be a lie.

The terms of the contract would govern your transaction. If the contract identifies that dog and that is the dog the person bargained for, then that dog is the one the person is entitled to. If you and the other party agree to a different dog, the contract could be modified with the consent of both... View More

Anyone can sue anyone if they pay the fee. Thus, the question is do you have a defense. It depends on what the form says. Assuming it is a true general release form, you should have a complete defense.
