Oops I guess it kinda read that way. I meant a police report, (assuming it shows the other dog/party was in the wrong), would be the best bet, which could then be used as evidence to go to small claims. Yeah, police aren't going to collect money from them for you lolLE can't enforce compensation that hasn't been adjudicated by a judge. Even then, I don't know that they have all that much role in enforcing it. The police can only provide evidence that the other dog was the aggressor and in the wrong.
