on a serious note I know of a couple of dogs that have done damage.. one was a Rott that jumped up and bit a bloke on the nose as soon as he walking in the room.. the other was a small dog who bit a teenage girl on her face.. no legal action taken because both incidents were within family/friends..one dog was destoryed by vets. it would have made no difference if the dogs had been chipped or any licence involved...but I suppose claims could have been made against the owners if a licence was compulsory.
