In the final part of our Dog Safety Series, the New York Dog Bite Lawyer wishes to remind you to treat your furry friends with all the love and respect they deserve. That way, both you and they can enjoy this baseball season, with our good friends at the Long Island Ducks:
For many New Yorkers, a dog is not simply a pet. A dog is a family member, a best friend, a source of comfort, companionship, and unconditional love. Anyone who has ever shared their life with a dog understands that the bond between a person and their canine companion is deep, personal, and irreplaceable.
Unfortunately, New York law does not currently recognize that reality.
In the third part of our dog safety series, the New York Dog Bite Lawyer wants to ensure that you and your loved ones remain safe during this lovely baseball season. Here are some additional ways to ensure that you can remain safe around dogs:
The New York Dog Bite Lawyer, in partnership with the Long Island Ducks, is here to teach you the importance of pet safety. While dogs can often be friendly, acting appropriately around them is the best way to avoid a potential bite.
For that reason, we are starting our Dog Safety Series. Here are just five safety tips to keep in mind if you want to avoid a dog bite:
Dog bite law in New York is no longer as simple as it used to be.
For years, cases turned on a single concept: whether the owner knew of the dog’s dangerous propensities. That still matters—but today, it’s only part of the analysis.
Mack Press, the New York Dog Bite Lawyer, has proudly partnered with the Long Island Ducks, because they share a love of two things: dogs, and baseball. And with baseball season around the corner and dogs getting to go out and run, people are getting excited for the spring.
Many injured victims hesitate to bring a claim because they fear “something will happen to the dog.”
That concern is understandable — but usually misplaced.
For years, many New York dog owners believed that if their dog had never bitten anyone before, they were protected from liability.
That belief is outdated.
A one-year old baby was severely injured after being bitten by a pit bull in Manhattan on December 22, 2025, leading to an uproar on social media. Thankfully, bystanders were able to intervene quickly, but the child was left with severe lacerations that were described as a “hole” in its leg. The child was rushed to the hospital, and is thankfully in stable condition.
