The trial court in this dog-bite case improperly granted summary disposition to the animal’s owners, because the dog was not provoked by the victim.

On January 8, 2008, the Court of Appeals issued a published opinion analyzing Section 287.351 of the dog bite statute in Koivisto v Davis. In that case, two huskies managed to escape from the kennel where they were being boarded and came over to the plaintiff's yard.
