[Aggresive Rottweiler]

Hi if the dog only attacked your dog its adog on dog attack nothing can be done silly law in my opinion however if the dog attacked you that is assault by animal then you can get a charge against the owner and dog like can't leave the house without a mussel etc.

 

Hope this helps hope you and dog are ok
