Memorandum:
Plaintiff commenced this action to recover damages for injuries sustained by her son on her own property when he was attacked by a dog owned by a tenant of David Oldfield and Barbara Oldfield (defendants). Supreme Court properly granted the motion of defendants seeking summary judgment dismissing the complaint against them. It is undisputed that the incident did not occur on defendants' property, and thus defendants owed no duty of care to plaintiff's son ( see Terrio v. Daggett, 208 A.D.2d 1163; see also Phillips v. Coffee To Go, 269 A.D.2d 123, 124; Shen v. Kornienko, 253 A.D.2d 396).
