Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Owners of dogs shall be liable for any damage done by their dogs to persons.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If the statute means what it says, the syllogism is clear: [Defendant] was the owner of the dog; damage was caused to a person by the dog; and thus the owner of the dog is liable for the damage done.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Where ... the damage results from some physical agency set into motion by a chain of events which may have been triggered by the presence of the dog, absolute liability should not be imposed.”
