Poodle emotionally scarred, court told

A champion poodle that allegedly bit a building inspector was emotionally scarred after a run-in with a courier, a court was told.
(...)

It was alleged that last December building inspector Glen Walker was rushed by three full-size poodles and bitten on the left leg by one - show dog Fonteyn - when he went to the Greenslade home in Otaki.

(...)

Judge Atkins ruled that the dog attack charge be dismissed because, though there was physical contact, he was not satisfied there was a bite or even an attack.

He said Mrs Greenslade had not taken sufficient care in properly shutting the door the dogs got through and fined her $100, with $250 in court costs.

I suppose that's as good as it gets. Pretty expensive door opener though!
