Doug is speaking with his friend Annie about an unfortunate

accident involving her pet dog. Her pit bull bit the mailman,

apparently mistaking him for an intruder. The mailman is now

suing Annie. Annie says that she is going to trial to contest her

liability because her dog broke out of its cage and it wasn't her

fault. Animal bites are strict liability torts in Annie's state. What

does Annie need to know before going to trial?

Its my 10 % assignment

so please elaborate it.
