Read: Chapters 5 and 6 in your textbook, Mastering Torts: A Student’s Guide to the Law of Torts.

Watch the following video that relates to the scenario (with a little humor involved) involving a dog bite.

Does your dog bite? Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXn2QVipK2o&feature=youtu.be.

In this scenario, a person enters a hotel to find out how much a hotel room is. The customer is talking to the desk clerk and is bitten by a

dog. The clerk claims that the dog is not his dog. Is the desk clerk liable? Can negligence be proven in this situation?

Now, locate your state statute regarding dog bites. You can do this by using a search engine such as Google. You can search for your state

statute and search for the words dog bite. For instance, Minnesota’s statutes can be found at https://www.revisor.mn.gov/pubs/. If I search

within this link for dog bite, I would find the following statute: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/topics/?type=statute&year=2011&id=S3843807.

Putting together what you have learned this far, would the plaintiff in the video be entitled to any compensation under your state’s dog bite

statute? Why or why not? Be prepared to support your answer.
