   That may be, but cities are tightening their laws and penalties   
   involving dog bites so the judge isn't likely going to care whether it   
   was an accident or a deliberate act. If your dog gets loose and hurts   
   somebody, you WILL be held legally liable and fined for not keeping your   
   dog on a leash.

   Yes, that is a possibility.
