While I don't have too much experience in this field, I think that "Alex" is on the right tract. You are responsible for your pet's actions.
Have you tried calling your homeowner's insurance carrier? Your policy may require that your homeowner's insurance indemnify and defend you of any claim. Before paying out any money, contact them to see if there is a provision in the insurance contract that would protect you from any monetary damanges. If you have the contract in hand, consider contacting an experienced litigation/contract attorney to review it.
Good luck and so sorry to hear about the bad news!
