    Both are responsible. most insurance companies are not covering liability for pit bulls. the dogs have a bad reputation. your question is like someone co-signing on a loan. if one does not pay, the other person will. hope this helps.

    Check with your homeowners to see if you are covered having a pitbull on the premises.. I doubt you are. I have been doing animal rescue for 5 years and I recieve numerous calls to pick-up pitts because someones homeowners was getting cancelled. If you dont have homeowners and that dog bites someone or even more apt to happen attack someones pet YOU will lose ur home.......

    Wouldn't home owners insurance cover any injuries that has happened in the home? If not, the pet owner, and the parents can be taken to small claims court for damages (if the child is under 18).
