QUESTION
My Dog ingested a wire from some take out food. Can we expect the restaurant to pay the medical bill ?

More details to this question:
My husband and I ordered take out from a place we regularly do. This time he found two pieces of copper wire in his food. He pushed them to the side of his plate and our little dog managed to scarf one of them down when he turned his back. The piece was about 2 in. long so he ended up spending the night in doggie ER and had it surgically removed. We feel like they should cover the medical. Do we have a case for that?

I don't believe that you have a case. had the wire been in the dog food, you would have a case against the company that made the dog food. But, in this case, you had control of the wire and left it within reach of your dog. under the law, it's not the restaurant's fault.
Sorry I can't be more helpful
