Answer:
As a dog owner, you may be held liable for damages caused by your dog. This includes any harm or damage to property, such as a visitor's car. Liability often depends on whether you were negligent in controlling your dog or if your dog has a history of aggressive behavior. If the visitor can prove that you failed to take reasonable steps to prevent your dog from causing damage, you might be responsible for repair costs.
