TEXAS CITY, Texas (AP) A Texas woman whose four pit bulls entered her neighbors' yard through a hole in the fence and killed their 10-year-old beagle is suing them for $1 million.
Emerald White says in her lawsuit filed this week in Galveston County district court that she was "seriously injured" on Oct. 27 trying to stop the attack and retrieve her dogs. She says she suffered "multiple serious bite and scratch-type injuries" and accuses her neighbors of failing to securely confine and restrict their dog, Bailey.
White also contends she's feeling "conscious pain and suffering and now suffers also from fear, anxiety and trepidation."
Bailey's owner, Steve Baker, told The Galveston County Daily News (http://bit.ly/1xrtxoU ) that everyone was telling him to sue White but that he didn't because it wouldn't bring Bailey back and the police declared her dogs dangerous.

How crazy can people be? And frankly, I will not be surprised if she wins. Wasn't it in Texas where a rich spoiled brat was acquitted of rape because he was spoiled?

else that might apply; landlord, her insurance carrier, leave no stone unturned.

(47,534 posts)Here is a person who lost his beloved dog. Ready to move on and is now burdened with a lawsuit which means he has to hire his own lawyer.
It would be nice if he could be his own lawyer and asks the judge to immediately dismiss the lawsuit..
Yes, keep dreaming.
