Allison Harris v. Dustin Hilderbrand, Case No. 2022-0784
Seventh District Court of Appeals (Jefferson County)
ISSUES:
- Is a police officer who is required to board his K-9 dog at home immune from lawsuits alleging negligence when the dog bites a guest at the officer's home?
- Does the requirement that a police officer board his K-9 dog at his house give the officer immunity from Ohio's dog bite statute, which makes a keeper of a dog responsible for any injuries suffered from a dog bite?
