Family faces 1M suit after their beagle is attacked killed
A woman whose four dogs killed a neighbor's beagle is suing the owners of the dead dog for $1 million.
Emerald White's three pit bulldogs and a pit-bull mix broke through the families' common fence Oct. 27 to attack the 10-year-old beagle named Bailey. White, who has since moved from the home and could not be reached for comment, said in her lawsuit that she was seriously injured trying to stop the attack and retrieve her dogs.
The suit contends that Bailey first tried to enter White's property through a hole in their fence, and her dogs chased the beagle back home.
Not long before the incident, Steve Baker said he had worked to replace parts of the current fence to make it more secure and safe for his dog and family.
Steve Baker thinks that his dog never went on the offense and that she was only trying to stay alive. He also believes that the lawsuit is retaliation for 16 citations that Galveston County Animal Control issued to White after the attack.
