What legal actions can be taken if a neighbor's unleashed dog causes harm or injury?

Just saying tho. Dog ran at me and my other one the other day.
no recall
I think taking them to court when it’s not the worst ( few stitches .) would put a bite mark on a dogs record when really it’s just poor ownership( unless it’s byb.)
gave the old fart a lovely shoulder tap with my foot.
I would try to reason with person first depending on injury level/ and obvious treatment like if it looks like a bad situation ( they pay hospital fees . Muzzle dog. Get training and even offer to pay for any recovery training for trauma caused.)
then I’d request dog training and potentially therapy .
had the dog made contact with my skin and caused very light damaged I’d have met with the owner and resolved it with a one on one convo . Maybe a “ kindly .” Placed word
then he turned away and I gave my girl the okay to walk on. We played some games to shake off the stress of another persons poor handling.
if that dog touched my dog ! I’d beat the ever living sh💩t biscuits out of it.
My boyfriend won’t tell me his past and it hurts me so I broke up with him what do I do?
full on off leash
And reimbursement for any damages done.
I’ve had a lot of experience with bite risk dogs in doggy daycare. We had a lot of last chance. We understood the dogs were badly bred or had past situations or even just bad. Owners. We got bit and hospitalized a lot for minimum wage . But we understood deep down it wasn’t the dogs. It was the environment around them and again bad breeding. Also fuck day cares .
Why am I so triggered and depressed over a minor thing?
almost apologized to him man look like I hurt his feelings too.
For the dog .
And told him to get lost .
if it was byb and hyper aggressive we going to court tho….
I calmly stepped in front of my girl who was ready for a scuffle.
If it is an injury that is serious enough or very clearly a dog with a previous continued history. I would call the police . You can sue for damages and having an unleashed animal running at you.
