MOTOR
CARS
AND
DOGS
Unquestionably
the
greatest
enemy
that
the
dog
possesses
at
the
present
time
is
the
motor
car.
Presuming
the
owner
of
the
dog
is
fortunate
enough
to
know
whose
car
it
was
that
ran
over
his
dog,
and
to
have
some
evidence
of
excessive
or
unreasonable
speed
or
other
negligence
on
the
part
of
the
car
driver
at
the
time
of
the
accident,
he
will
find
the
law
ever
ready
to
assist
him.
A
dog
has
every
bit
as
much
right
to
the
high
road
as
a
motor
car.
Efforts
have
been
made
on
the
part
of
motor
owners
to
get
the
Courts
to
hold
that
dogs
on
a
high
road
are
only
under
proper
control
if
on
a
"lead,"
and
that
if
they
are
not
on
a
"lead"
the
owner
of
them
is
guilty
of
negligence
in
allowing
his
dog
to
stroll
about,
and
therefore
is
not
entitled
to
recover:
such
efforts
have
not
been
successful.
Even
supposing
a
Court
to
hold
that
the
fact
of
a
dog
being
loose
in
this
way
or
unaccompanied
was
evidence
of
negligence
against
his
owner
this
would
by
no
means
defeat
his
owner's
claim,
for
the
law
is,
that
though
a
plaintiff
may
have
been
negligent
in
some
such
way
as
this,
yet
if
the
defendant
could,
by
the
exercise
of
reasonable
care,
have
avoided
the
accident,
the
plaintiff
can
still
recover.
There
are
several
cases
that
decide
this
valuable
principle.
