A friend of mine was on the beach and was attacked by the neighbor's dogs (unprovoked). It was a bad attack, leaving her with multiple wounds.

This is not the first time this has happened, and the dogs have been a problem in the past. This however was the worst it's ever been.

She is (justifiably!) livid and wants to sue the owner. She is not a resident.

Can anyone please offer some insight in how best to handle this situation?

Thanks!

She should get a medical assessment of her injuries (certificate).
Then do a formal "denuncio" at the "fiscal's" office.
The owner of the dogs could even be taken to jail.
At least if the owner is a gringo/a....

Do as above; but also confide with the public health authorities, the dogs need to be tested for rabies.

Sorry for what happened to your friend

Sounds like these dogs need to be put down if they have a history of attacking people. What if they attack a child next? The owners need to be in jail and pay for her medical bills.
hope your friend heals quickly

Sorry to hear that.

I second this...it is very important to test the dog.
