In this week's tip, we armchair quarterback a Florida board who says that it's powerless after a dog attack.
Long story short: A condo resident was attacked by a dog apparently approved by the board, though, according to the writer, the dog owner is a “never-leaving guest.” In response, the board claims it can't do anything because it “approved the dog in writing.”

And don't miss the extended video article in which Adrian and Robert talk about what this board can do to ensure that its approval of this dog doesn't come back to bite them. Click here to view the full video interview.
