Sec. 1.
(1) If a dog bites a person, without provocation while the person is on public property, or lawfully on private property, including the property of the owner of the dog, the owner of the dog shall be liable for any damages suffered by the person bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner’s knowledge of such viciousness.

Michigan imposes strict liability on all dog owners because dog bites are dangerous and often fatal. It was only last year that a man from Metamora Township was killed while jogging when two dogs chased him and attacked. The law is in place to protect the public. Failing to hold someone responsible for a dog bite could mean that there will be another victim.
