We have this insurance with dog kennel.. If owner comes out to visit and
feeds dog in my care chocolate for Holloween, behind my back, am I
responsible when dog dies toxic shock in its sleep during the night?  I
don't think so.  But how to prove it?  CYA And Educate, If folks will listen
and hear you...sometimes they do not....
