Guaranteed Against Rottweiler Escape?

There is a story about a dog that escaped and attacked a child. The parents of the child are not only suing the owners of the dog but also the fence company who installed the fence to keep the dog in. Obviously the case is still pending, but it does raise some interesting questions.

Anybody can sue anyone for anything, so there really is no way to prevent a suit. Obviously, if the lawsuit is successful is the real story.

Without knowing any more about the case then what is in the story, I'm left to speculate as to what really happened. But for the sake of this discussion let's assume the fence was properly installed, the contractor was paid for a completed fence job and moved on.

Later on the dog dug under the fence, escaped and attacked a child. I would assume the case would have no merit since the homeowner was satisfied with the work. But is there anyway to guarantee the fence is going to do what the customer wants it to? Would anybody install a fence to keep a dog in if they're liable if the dog escapes? How about a swimming pool? prison?

Let me know what you think. Anything similiar happen to you or someone you know?

Let us know.
