Following an accident on Aug 23 in which a woman sustained bruises and scratches on her back and arm, local dog waterpark Wag & Wild has apparently been hit with a list of demands amounting to $30,000, the company said in a public Facebook post on Tuesday (Sept 8).

The company added it initially had no intention to go public with the matter, but was “compelled” to come forward with its side of the story after “judgement of inconsideration and irresponsibility on [its] end by the public”.

The compensation requested by the woman was not feasible, Wag & Wild said, especially in the business climate of a pandemic.

The woman, who had visited the waterpark with her labradoodle, Freddy, was hit by a falling metal gate, she recounted in a Google review on Sept 3.

According to the woman, the gate required three adult men to lift.

She added: “It was a miracle that I got away with only bruises and scratches to my back and arm and thankfully, Freddy was unharmed.

“Given the weight of the metal gate, I believe I could have been very severely injured and Freddy could have been crushed under the massive gate.”
