probably the person with the off leash dog
The owner of the leashed dog is liable. If the dog that is on its own property is attacked, the owner should pay for the "home" dog's care. The owner of the leashed dog is still responsible for its behavior.
The past tense of "leash" is "leashed."

Sure, with the proper training. Be aware, however, that even if a dog is trained to walk off leash local laws and ordinances may require that they be leashed when off the owner's property.
No
No
They sure can. We use to put a leash on our cat when we took her on a trip and walked her just like a dog.
The state does not have leash laws. However, many counties do require that dogs outside the confines of their owner's property be leashed. For example Montgomery, Calvert and Hartford Counties. Often the term "at large" is used in legal jargon for a dog walking around off leash (even when the owner is nearby). Check local county and city laws for details in your area.
You could be and the answer to that depends on the leash laws in your area. Call animal control to find out.
Yes and no. Yes, since you failed to avoid the other dog and made no advances in stopping them from fighting when they were starting to get aggressive. No, since the owner let their dog attack yours and was on your property.
Yes, if your dog was on leash or on your property and another dog came attacked your dog then the dog's owner should be responsible for all vet bills.
this all depends on where it happened. If your dog was on its own property leased or fenced in and the other dog was unleashed and coming on to your property and kills your dog the owner of the other dog is definitely responsible. If your dog got loose and wandered on to the other property you are responsible. If this happened in the street then which ever dog was off-leash the owner of that dog is fully responsible. That is why it is sad when a person does not have control of their animal.
