3826 REVIEW GRANTED Occupational assumption of the risk (i.e., the firefighter's rule) is a complete defense to strict liability that would be imposed under Civil Code section 3342 on the owner of a dog for a bite inflicted on a kennel employee hired to handle the dog, but is not a defense to strict liability that would be imposed by the common law if the owner knew of the dog's vicious propensity and did not inform the kennel operator.CitationPRIEBE v NELSON (Dog Bite) 119 CA4 235 [See: CivC 3342; CCP 657; Knight v Jewett 3 C4 296, T/AT 10/92; Nelson v Hall 165 CA3 709; Drake v Dean 15 CA4 915, T/AT 7/93]
