RE: Model Aviation and Dogs
Dogs? Pets? I know that pets are some what of a problem. Not everyone likes your dog, my dog, or anyone else's dog. Even if it is in a low powered dog fight. People love their pets, with good reason. The key word is their pet. People love their pets and don't care for your pet most times.
I posted a story about a dog and a flying field. Some figured it was a funny story and made fun of my story. ( one of the reasons some don't care to post) The sad truth is the story was very true. A old friend of mind does investigative work hired me to help on a law suit. The suit involves model aviation and you guessed it, dogs. Our legal team had the land owner. The case was simple. The club had rules about pets. A pretty girl brought a dog to the field one Sunday. The entrance to the club had a sign posted no pets. The story begins with the dog bit someone. That someone sued everybody involved in the club. Now I said everybody. We worked on behalf of the land owner and the judge excused the land owner from the suit. The judges reason for this excuse was the club failed to live up to the contract on the lease of the land. My friend and I got called to testify, but never had to. Every member of that club was in court. What a mess.
I have no idea how it all turned out. That is how these things are in most cases. The thing I do know is there was a bunch of very upset people. People that was going about enjoying their flying and it turned into a bad dream. While doing case research I was surprised at the number of cases involving dogs. The only other story I have is about our old field. This is a hear say story. There was a nice guy that had a little dog and when the nice guy went to the field so did the dog. One day the club grouch stepped in a pile of dog stuff. The nice guy and the grouch got into what some would call a fight. We didn't see the nice guy, the grouch, or the dog for about a year. Is the story true, maybe. I do know I didn't see the dog, nice guy, or the grouch for a while.
