B.C. man ordered to pay a woman $1,139 after ‘relatively minor’ dog bites 01.09.2026

The Civil Resolutions Tribunal ruled that Youssif Takla must pay Weizhen Wang $1,139 for a dog bite incident that occurred in February 2024. Wang originally sought $3,148 in compensation, covering ambulance services, lost income, future scar removal, and pain and suffering. Takla argued that only one dog was involved and that Wang provoked the attack by kicking and hitting them with an umbrella. He also claimed he had already paid the only legitimate expense of $75 for a rabies vaccine and had offered to drive her to the hospital.
