Facts: A tenant's dog attacked and severely injured a young child on the premises. The child's parent sued the dog's owner and won a substantial award, and later attempted to sue the building's owner for allegedly not evicting the tenant or forcing him to get rid of his dog. The court ruled in favor of the owner, and the young child's parent appealed.
