The number of people keeping pet dogs has greatly increased in india
Many people are keeping large and dangerous dogs
While the dogs are considered a status symbol, citizens who are attacked by the dogs often suffer serious injuries
According to a report in Hindustan Times, a journalist who was attacked by a pitbull who bit her arm had to pay Rs 3 lakh as medical expenses, hospitalization, medicines and other related expenses.
The dog owner did not pay any compensation to the victim for the damages caused. It is time the rules are changed and citizens are held responsible for the problems caused by their pets.
