Texas woman sues family after her dogs kill neighbor's pet beagle

Wed, Nov 19 2014

By Amanda Orr

HOUSTON (Reuters) - The owner of three pit bulls and a pit-bull mix is seeking up to $1 million in damages after her dogs entered the Houston-area property of her neighbor and fatally attacked her neighbor's 10-year-old beagle.

Emerald White said she was trying to retrieve her four dogs from her neighbor's yard when the beagle attacked her, causing her dogs to attack, the lawsuit said.

The beagle's owners, the Baker family, said the pit bulls broke into their yard and started the incident that left their beagle, Bailey, dead a few minutes after the attack ended in the Houston suburb of Texas City.

White's attorney, Paul LaValle, told local broadcaster KHOU-TV: "I’m getting the hate mail and the death threats. They have a very good PR campaign working for the family that owned the beagle."

White's lawsuit said her neighbors were negligent and that she suffered from mental anguish, disfigurement, pain, loss of earnings and a fear of future disease because of the beagle attack.

The Baker family told KHOU-TV it had no plans to sue White because it would not bring their dead pet back.

"Bailey ... laid up next to the house and died," Steve Baker told the broadcaster.

Even if the beagle attacked her - she was a trespasser. I wish they would countersue.

 That's the beauty of a counterclaim - you are not the one filing - you are just responding.

Most dogs will attack if you enter their property. It's their job and their nature.

The beagle owners will have to counter-sue for their legal fees for defending against this frivolous lawsuit.

Then throw in failure to control dangerous animals, and trespassing.

If this wasn't so outrageous, it would be funny:

"White's lawsuit said her neighbors were negligent and that she suffered from mental anguish, disfigurement, pain, loss of earnings and a fear of future disease because of the beagle attack."

Seriously, she thinks people will believe a BEAGLE did that to her? She's traumatized because she watched her 4 attack dogs kill a much smaller animal?

Wait, did the ferocious beagle NIP at her???

 

Or did the barking cause her extensive injury?

I'm not surprised her attorney is getting hate mail. He's an idiot, and he deserves to be chastised, although it will be better if a judge does it, and fines him for taking this cr@p case to court.

They should get hate mail. They deserve it.

Poor little dog. He was trying to protect himself and his home. I hope they countersue and win.

I can picture Judge Judy ripping this creep a new one. And awarding $5000 to the beagle owner.

 Yep.  That's what dogs do.  Even non pit bulls.
