Man Jailed & $ 2000 Fine

NBC-6;" Idaho Falls Idaho-Due to his family's pet.Two witnesses say they saw a little girl walking her dog on a leash, when two miniature pinchers ran across the street from their house. Witnesses say the dogs began to fight and that the girl was dragged out into the road. Witnesses say they ran to help the girl and got the dogs to go home. The witnesses say the owner of the dogs, stood in his yard and watched the whole incident. According to the father, his son did go out and see if the girl was okay, and took his dog's home. The girl was then taken to hospital by ambulance to be treated for her injuries. He was cited for having a dog at large. Received a $2,000 dollar fine and is currently serving 10 days in jail. "The dogs saw each other; went over to investigate, and by the time my son had gotten out moments later, the Shepherd had pulled the girl to the street. She had abrasions, so my son went over; helped her up and asked if she was okay; she said yes I'm alright.But she said-"He never left his yard; I saw him when I got half way down the street. I saw him standing there. He never came to the street; he never even touched the girl or asked if she was okay anything."
This seems to always be a problem in most towns, my children come home at least once week and tell me about some dog that scared them on their way home from school. More needs to be done about things like this next time it could be worst for some other little child.
