But the testimony before Judge Judy revealed a more complicated chain of events involving a known history between the dogs, a campground leash rule, and decisions made by both owners moments before the encounter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/05d4b0bc-19b6-4185-a67a-8c40b6f1b0ca-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Family Dispute Behind the Case<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Craig Baker and Molly Hiser sued Craig\u2019s brother, Clint Baker, and Clint\u2019s girlfriend, Danielle Roberts. The plaintiffs were seeking payment for treatment received by Sarah, Molly\u2019s Chihuahua, after an encounter with Rona, a much larger dog that the program identified as a pit bull.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/058fbbfe-a5ea-460e-a68f-bb025bcc3cdc-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The parties were connected by more than the lawsuit. Craig and Clint were brothers, and both couples maintained seasonal campsites at the same campground, returning frequently during good weather. Their neighboring sites turned an incident between two dogs into a conflict between relatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/439540db-8c4c-4f06-9d5d-d0fc3ce37be8-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The campground was described as having roughly 110 sites. Craig said his site and Clint and Danielle\u2019s site were separated by two open lots. On April 20, 2024, the weather was cold, rainy, and windy. Craig\u2019s group had a fire going and was setting up a 15-by-15-foot domed tent with electrical cords and heaters so they could spend time outside despite the temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/91cd3145-2f60-4cd7-b79b-92da2e0dbf01-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What Happened on April 20, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Craig\u2019s account began with Sarah inside the tent area with him and Molly. Danielle was in the other couple\u2019s camper with Rona. Danielle told Clint that Rona needed to go outside, and Clint brought the dog out. Craig said Clint was trying to hand Rona\u2019s leash to his son when the dog got loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/dd49381d-7e6a-419b-a5e4-8c4095f7735e-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">According to Craig, Rona ran around the tent and attacked Sarah before anyone had time to react. Judge Judy stopped him several times to clarify exactly where the dogs had been. Sarah had initially been in the tent, but Craig said she later walked outside toward the fire with Molly. By the time of the encounter, Sarah was outside and not on a leash.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/05b29e01-7397-4794-9b44-6924934dccff-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">That point became one of the central issues in the case. Craig argued that Sarah was a service dog and therefore did not have to be leashed. When Judge Judy asked how Sarah had received that status, Craig acknowledged that the paperwork had been obtained through an internet service. He also said no doctor had certified that Sarah was necessary as a service dog. Judge Judy made clear that she did not consider the explanation enough to remove the leash issue from the case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/d23638bf-0ff9-4656-b930-9117c6fd85dc-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Two Different Accounts of the Attack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Clint and Danielle agreed that Rona had been taken outside on a leash. They disagreed, however, with Craig\u2019s description of an entirely one-sided attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Danielle testified that Rona had been kept inside the camper while the tent was being set up. When she said the dog needed to go potty, she put Rona\u2019s harness and leash on and handed the leash to Clint. She then stayed in the camper to prepare food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/62edd53e-97b7-41e7-9ad5-76d71095f192-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Clint described walking Rona toward a golf cart where his two sons were sitting. In his account, Sarah came out from the area around the fire and began barking at Rona. Craig immediately denied that Sarah barked. Clint said Rona reacted to the smaller dog and moved toward her. He was still handling the leash, but the dog got away from him before he could complete the handoff to his son.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The conflicting testimony meant the court had to consider more than Sarah\u2019s injury: what happened immediately before the attack, what each owner knew, and whether either side had taken reasonable precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/629f2bf6-1651-4adb-a215-97bc19131c7c-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The History Between the Dogs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The court heard that Sarah and Rona had experienced problems before. Danielle said Rona had previously tried to attack Sarah about three years earlier, after Sarah\u2014again off leash\u2014came onto their lot. She said that earlier incident caused only a scratch on Sarah\u2019s nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Danielle also described an incident from February 2024 involving a neighbor\u2019s dog. According to her testimony, that dog got out of its house and entered the couple\u2019s fenced yard. Rona bit the dog once, after which the other dog ran back home while Rona remained in the yard. Danielle said they believed the dog had entered underneath the fence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/7eadc991-5ec0-4f59-a051-7a594c0aa788-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Craig raised additional allegations about Rona, including claims that the dog had bitten a camper and had attacked another dog near a children\u2019s playground. The broader point was that both sides knew Rona had difficulty with other animals and that Sarah and Rona had already had trouble together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/e35a44c1-0e31-4ffb-846b-420a602d7bd0-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">After the April attack, Clint and Danielle made the decision to put Rona down. Danielle said the decision followed the incident and the dog\u2019s history. Later, Molly described that decision as heartbreaking and said the family missed Rona every day. Craig maintained that the dog had been known to be dangerous and had escaped.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/e87df443-eb5e-419d-84e1-0a72a52cd051-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why Sarah\u2019s Leash Became Central<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Judge Judy\u2019s analysis turned on the responsibilities of both sets of owners. The campground rule, as described in court, required dogs to be on leashes. Craig acknowledged that Sarah was not leashed but argued that other dogs in the campground were also sometimes off leash. Judge Judy rejected that comparison, explaining that the conduct of neighbors who were not parties to the case did not determine the responsibility of the people before her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/4cfc357f-94ea-4ab2-a63f-09e508ece2c6-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The judge found that Clint and Danielle had taken a correct step by putting Rona on a leash. Their failure was in not maintaining control when the leash slipped from Clint\u2019s hand. Judge Judy described that failure as negligence, but she also noted that the defendants had tried to manage a dog whose history they understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/afab321a-7078-43b1-9823-bfd4fa5b1c47-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.331484049930652;width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Craig and Molly, in contrast, had allowed Sarah to remain outside without a leash despite knowing about the earlier problems. Judge Judy emphasized that Sarah could not decide for herself to avoid the larger dog or protect herself if the situation escalated. In the judge\u2019s view, protecting the smaller dog was the responsibility of its owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/0970d046-29c8-4c34-8c07-4dcd37376193-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This was the reasoning behind the shared-fault finding. The defendants were negligent because Rona escaped while being taken outside. The plaintiffs were also negligent because Sarah was off leash, against the campground rule, and was brought into an area where the owners knew a conflict was possible. Judge Judy characterized the situation as contributory negligence rather than assigning complete blame to either side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/efd0f54d-cc69-436f-9aab-8ea4bdacfe5c-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This was the reasoning behind the shared-fault finding.

During the case, Judge Judy learned that Clint and Danielle had previously offered to pay half of that amount. Craig had rejected the offer because he believed Rona was a known vicious dog that had gotten loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/0833b450-8f3f-4198-ad96-88afa4f66aa9-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Judge Judy did not accept the argument that only one side was responsible. She ruled that the veterinary expenses should be divided evenly and entered judgment for the plaintiffs in the amount of $5,500\u2014the amount corresponding to approximately half of the bills and the amount the defendants had originally offered. The court then adjourned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The ruling recognized two painful realities: Sarah required extensive veterinary care, and Rona\u2019s owners put their dog down after the incident. The injury, however, resulted from preventable decisions by both households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/4d2cc84b-1081-415c-821f-ee55a5aba77f-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>After the Ruling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In their post-trial comments, Craig and Molly said they hoped the family could move beyond the dispute and that the brothers could eventually get along again. The case had begun with two neighboring campsites and two dogs, but it had placed a long-standing family relationship under strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/51711596-9793-4ef7-9953-597371b5f5a9-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The broader lesson was equally direct: leash rules apply even when other people ignore them, and owners who know two dogs have had problems before must take steps to prevent another encounter. In this case, Judge Judy concluded that neither side had done enough to avoid the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/61ff9900-a5da-4942-891c-53216d94f38f-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much were the veterinary bills in the case?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The veterinary bills totaled $10,991, according to the figures presented in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much did Judge Judy award Craig Baker and Molly Hiser?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judge Judy awarded the plaintiffs $5,500, approximately half of the veterinary expenses and the amount Clint Baker and Danielle Roberts had previously offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which dogs were involved?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dogs were Sarah, Molly Hiser\u2019s Chihuahua, and Rona, the much larger dog associated with Clint Baker and Danielle Roberts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Was Sarah on a leash?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Sarah was outside near the fire and was not on a leash. Craig argued that she was a service dog, but acknowledged that her paperwork came through an internet service without a doctor\u2019s certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Was Rona on a leash?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Rona was wearing a harness and leash, but Clint lost control of the leash during the encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why did Judge Judy find both sides negligent?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The judge found the defendants negligent because Rona escaped despite being leashed.
