Is a dog that is tied up in the box of a pickup truck a vehicle?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Taylor v. Maris, 2003 BCSC 1047 (CanLII):
ICBC counters with an American decision that it maintains is indistinguishable. In Heringlake v. State Farm Fire and Casualty Company Inc. 872 P. 2d 539 (Wash. App. 1994) a child was bitten by a dog that was tied up in the box of a pickup truck in which the child was playing. The view taken there was that the truck was the mere situs of the accident such that it could not be said that injury arose out of the use of the vehicle.
