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.
