Own fault it not is, if “Bello” careless before a car on the road runs, jumps to a cyclist or exuberant welcomes visitors to the welcome and damaging something. The keepers must come up on the basis of strict liability for all damage that harmful the animal here, regardless of whether or not he is a fault because.

Even with the favorite dog can occur causing harm, because animals act according to certain ways of reaction and instincts. A usually very good boy just runs on the road and a car damaged something by an evasive or damaged while jumping on people glasses, trousers or jackets is in practice much more often than a bite damage. Who has then no dog liability insurance, must pay for damages itself.” In the selection of the appropriate tariff is – in addition to an affordable price – in particular a sufficient sum insured for damage to persons and pay attention to. Currently, insurance totals of 3 to 5 million euros are indicative.
