Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, and the motion is denied.
The infant plaintiff was bitten by a dog owned by the decedent Doris Belyski and harbored at the residence of the defendants Guy and Josephine Pedone, where the decedent had resided. One who harbors a domestic animal will be held liable for injuries caused by the animal if that person knows or should know that the animal has vicious propensities ( cf., Arbegast v. Board of Educ., 65 N.Y.2d 161; Lynch v. Nacewicz, 126 A.D.2d 708). Summary judgment was improperly granted here since a question of fact was presented as to whether the respondents knew or should have known, on the day of the incident, that the dog exhibited vicious propensities.
