Reading that sentence made my head hurt.

As you may recall, earlier this year my ex was jumped from behind while riding. The animal sprinted off someone's property through an open gate. She never even saw the thing, so she certainly did not attract the animal with a lack of confidence. Thing took her down, and she suffered a brain bleed. Local authorities have brought criminal charges against the owner. My ex's lawyer's investigator went to the scene to take photos and saw the dog again roaming the property unleashed or fenced in.
