I’ve now sent a letter off to the Allianz disputes committee reminding them that the agreement we had was to cover my trip in the case of an unavoidable requirement to cancel (which the attack on Gracie most certainly qualifies for.) Nothing good ever comes from a committee… My expectation is that they will tow the company line and decline to honor their product promise and commitments. That is why I’m now teeing up a social media campaign and am in the process of engaging a red-meat eating litigator to take on this case.

An aside, as an insurance company, you’d think that Allianz would be better able to manage the risk/reward equation. Their deceptive practices and inability to honor their policy will end up costing them a minimum of 1,000 times more than just paying the claim. It’s going to be a hard lesson – but sometimes that’s the only way to wake a company or person up. It’s their choice.

Meanwhile, the best news is that Gracie is nearly completely recovered physically from her attack. She’s got quite a scar, but that seems to be the only thing leftover from the incident. I’m very happy she’s back to being her normal happy doggie self.
