If
a dog or a goat kid jumped from the top of a roof and broke the
utensils it landed on below, the animal's owner pays full damages. If
it fell? This opinion implies that the owner is not liable, but the
final law is that in a situation that begins with negligence and ends
in unavoidable mishap the owner is liable.
If a dog took a
biscuit from the coals and went to a stack of grain sheaves, where it
ate the biscuit and set fire to the stack, for the biscuit the dog's
owner pays full damages and for the stack he pays half the damage.
