00:00You pronounce your name Mattar? Mattar, yes. Miss Mattar, this is your little girl? Yes.

00:05And according to your complaint, she was playing at a friend's house with your children. Yes. And

00:12that unfortunately she was bitten by your dog. Yes. This dog. And you seek reimbursement for

00:21your medical bills. Yes, please. There is no dispute that your dog bit her and scratched her,

00:28is that right? Right. There's no dispute as to that, no. Well, then why don't you tell me why you

00:34don't believe you're responsible for the child's medical bills? First of all, Your Honor, my dog,

00:40he's really good. He always has a problem with sensitive ears. And when the children started

00:48coming over, you know, I make sure and I told him, you know, the dog is fine, just don't pull his ears

00:53because he'll react. He reacts to adults. He reacts to us. It's a problem that he's had since he was

00:58a puppy. He's now six years old. Okay. So that I found interesting in your answer.

01:05You said that the dog has had a problem with his ears since he was a puppy. Tell me what kind of

01:12problem. You know, it's really hard for me to tell you. I've taken him to the vet and he says,

01:19well, he just has sensitive ears. There's nothing wrong with him inside that he can see that's

01:24physical. It's just a sensitivity that he has. Well, what has the dog done? He hasn't done anything

01:31to anybody before. What he's done, and my daughter can probably show you, is if you grab his ears and

01:38try to extend them, he tries to move, you know, kind of bite off your hand off his ears. So he tries to

01:45bite off your hand to let... Yeah, because he is not comfortable with that. And that was something

01:49that I explained to the children, not only when they first started visiting, but every single time

01:54that they went to play with the dog. I said, you can play with him, you can pet him anywhere you want,

01:59just don't pull his ears. He's fine if you just, you know, touch him down, but if you extend him,

02:04he has a problem with that. Hi. Hi. Veronica, can you tell me about the day that you went and played

02:23in the house where that dog was? First, I went to my friend Christy's house. Is that their house?

02:31Yes. How old is Christy? Eight. Eight. And how old are you? Eight.

02:37You guys sit still. Okay? So you went to play at the house, and what happened?

02:43I pet the dog, and he bit me. Where did you pet him? On the head.

02:49Did you pull his ears? Hmm? You sure? You just went to pet him. Had you played with the dog before?

02:57Dog never bit you before. Where were you bitten, Veronica?

03:04Over here. Right over here where that mark is? Did it hurt? Did you have to go to the doctor?

03:13The hospital. What happened to you in the hospital?

03:17The doctor put me some stitches. Do you know how many stitches you had?

03:22And how long ago did this happen? A while ago?

03:30You know, my eyes aren't so good anymore, so I need these glasses to really get a good look at,

03:36you know, your face, because your face is beautiful. Right? Just had that little mark on it.

03:40So let me see. Come. Come close to me.

03:43Oh. It's going to be gorgeous. People aren't going to look at that. They're going to look at your gorgeous eyes. Right?

03:54I'll tell you. Okay. Why don't you go sit down? You feel better about going to sit down?

04:00Yes? Okay. Heard? Sure.

04:03Okay. Is there anything else you want to tell me?

04:11It's just, it's obvious that it was in her house, it's her dog, and if she knows that he has a problem,

04:17keep him away from children. Don't give the responsibility for eight-year-old to know what she has to do.

04:22And I understand what you're saying. The point, too, is that the responsibility of having a dog is almost, you know,

04:32the words that your husband told me was, well, what kind of people are you to have a dog? Well, I'm sorry.

04:38Ms. Soria, listen to me. You know, things get hot when you're in the middle of a dispute.

04:44Ms. Soria, listen to me.
