Dog on dog attacks are a complex problem. Legally, you can seek damages for vet bills. But only if your dog and you were in the right. As some examples that would determine who is responsible:
- Was your dog on a leash?
- Was the other dog on a leash?
- Did the other dog come onto your property?
- If on a public right-of-way, did you have full control of your dog?
There may be differences in laws from one state to another.
You cannot get "pain and suffering" for yourself, unless you were also bit or hurt.
So basically, take the other owner to small claims court. Take photos of the place the attack occurred, taken from all directions if possible. Get a letter from your vet describing the injuries; if your dog died, ask the vet to include a statement of what caused the death and how those facts relate to the attack. Bring copies of all vet bills, itemized for each charge. Bring witnesses if anyone saw the attack.

this all depends on where it happened.

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.
