00:00Christopher Rovaris is suing fellow dog owner Ashley Peet for actual and punitive damages
00:07after her pit bull bit him. Mr. Rovaris, you brought your dog, a corgi? Yes. To a dog park.
00:15The defendant brought her dog to the same dog park, pit bull. Yes, sir. Her dog bit you on the
00:21behind. That is correct. Defendant acknowledges that her dog bit you on the behind. Your defense
00:27is that it was his fault. Yes, Your Honor. Go to it. You explain to me how it's his fault
00:35that your dog bit him on the behind. I go to the dog park with my dog. Don't tell me. I don't care
00:41about the tributaries. He's in the park first. You come after he's already in the park with his dog.
00:46Pick it up from there and tell me why it was his fault. My dogs play all the time. It's just running
00:51around playing like normal. And he felt like my dog was bullying his dog. And instead of just picking
00:58up his dog, he went and tried to kick and swing at my dog. He tried to kick at your dog? And punch him.
01:04Did he do that? He didn't come in contact with him, but he tried to punch him and kick him. Really?
01:10And you saw this whole thing happening? Yes, Your Honor. Yeah. Okay. Now you want to tell me what
01:14happened? February 2nd, 2019, at 2.30, I was at the dog park with my dog that I frequently go to.
01:21And what ended up happening was I'm watching my dog. And I noticed that her dog was being really
01:26aggressive towards my dog and other dogs. And so sometimes dogs are playing and I'm watching that.
01:30Sometimes. Just tell me. I'm watching them and I'm seeing if they're playing at first.
01:35And what ended up happening, I see other owners getting their dogs because they're...
01:39Not because. Mr. Rivera, listen to me. You can't tell me what is in the operation of anybody else's
01:46mind, like other dog owners. I just want you to tell me what you saw and what you did. Do you
01:53understand? Yeah. Let's go for it. February 2nd, 2019, 2.30, you're in the dog park. You arrive first
02:01with your dog, a Welch Corgi. She arrives second. The dogs are running around. Go.
02:07I go to grab my dog because her dog is being very aggressive. My dog is snarling and whining.
02:13And so when I go to grab my dog, to pick... How did you go to grab your dog?
02:18I went to pick him up. And when I go to... Because at the time, he was still a puppy. He was only 10
02:22months. And so he was very small. Okay. So you went to... You bent over to pick him up.
02:26Yes. And? And at that point, that's when the dog came up and bit me.
02:30Okay. So you're bending... In the process of bending over. Yes.
02:33So you were bending over when her dog bit you? Yes. Did you kick her dog? No. Absolutely not.
02:39Did you go to kick her dog? No. I had my back turned. I was going to pick my dog up to prevent
02:43him from hurting... From hurting my dog. And that was when I got bit. You went to the hospital
02:48or doctor the next day or that day? Hospital bills. I have all that here with me today.
02:51I'd like to see it. Absolutely. I have medical bills, scar wounds from the tissue and so forth.
03:00You have insurance, Blue Cross Blue Shield? Yes. Yes. What are you showing me pay stubs for?
03:08That was for time off that I had to take off from work. On what date did you take off from work?
03:12On June 6th. I had to take time, uh... For what? Uh, to file... There was... There was a lot of days
03:18that I took off, uh, basically, uh, through the injury. Not only for the injury, but to file the
03:23case and so forth. I don't care.
03:30pay in it on a regular basis. I tried. I nghĩ you've taken wrong, sir. I still
03:44taken a little care of, uh, for the injury. I took it wrong on the left foot, 극복.
