content: Hmm, not very good of him. What have his parents got to say? Liability lies at least partially (if not fully) with whoever left the camera in reach of the dog as well.My FLIR cam has gotten my parents' dog in trouble quite a few times - it had caught quite a few "nervous bladder" moments around their house! My mother was quite flabbergasted to see what was going on. Dad's dog - so he was more or less "Shut that damn thing off!" Lol.

content: Quote from: Bud on December 20, 2018, 01:45:44 amThat would depend on who was actually at fault I'd guess. If the nephew brought the puppy over to the uncle's house then it should be his responsibility to keep a close eye on the dog and yes, be responsible for any damage caused.If the nephew and his family live together with the Uncle in one household then it's going to come down to who last was using the device and where they left it, knowing that there was a dog living in the household. The age of the nephew also comes into play.

content: Quote from: railrun on December 20, 2018, 08:33:09 amcorrect. I just need a battery and the case part the battery is attached to. I had the flir on a hutch, back far enough from the edge, infact almost against the wall. but not far enough I guess..he doesnt want to cover any damages she does when she chews on something, even though its his dog, and yes she lives in the same household.

content: Well if I were you i would be careful where i leave things in the house. I would have noone but myself to blame if they get damaged. I only have a wife in the house but believe me it is enough for things to disappear or been misused, so i keep everything outside of her casual reach.

content: Puppies chew nearly anything and everything, it seems like that but it's not really that bad. You've got keep potentialy dangerous items out of their reach. Our Staffy used to chew the Mrs's shoes to stop her from going out and sometimes we would find a perfectly intact single potato or onion outside by the back door but with no teeth marks. As she managed to loose, bury or hide all of her toy balls I guess a small vegetable is a substitute but they don't bounce as well. One day she took a lime out of a shopping bag and planted it neatly in the middle of her bed. Dogs do the strangest things sometimes but you've got to love them.

content: Quote from: Bud on December 20, 2018, 07:40:09 pmHow do you know they nephew is a kid? A nephew can be an adult and financially independent. I'd expect compensation to be offered, which may then be declined. If no compensation is offered, things become less optional.

content: Yes i assumed the nephew was a kid. Regardless, there is a choice of getting compensated or getting relationships damaged. Pick your value.

content: Quote from: chris_leyson on December 20, 2018, 07:47:05 pmTrue, a friend of mine had a misfortune to leave his PhD dissertation final Draft on the coffee table. Not only his puppy chewed it but also pooped on it after, as a sign of deep love of his master. And that was back in times when you used pens and typewriters to write papers.

content: Quote from: Bud on December 20, 2018, 08:17:43 pmI'd argue destroying people's stuff and not only not offering compensation, but actively declining to do so is damaging to the relationship. Like I said before, if someone offers it himself I'm not so fussed about taking them up on it. If they don't take responsibility, things are different.
