Attorney Has Different Story About Dog Attack

An attorney who represents a woman arrested after her dogs attacked and killed another dog says the woman's dogs were provoked.

An attorney representing a woman after her dogs attacked and killed another dog at Jackson Cove Park says the dogs did not begin the altercation, according to the Republican-American.

Ralph Crozier, who represents Vickie Tkacz (pronounced Kach), 37, of 48 Jackson Cove Road, Oxford, says the black Labrador Retriever that was killed in the attacked last week leaned forward and growled when he heard or saw the Newfoundlands, the Rep-Am reports.

Crozier also says only two of the four Newfoundlands were involved in the attack and the other two were innocent yet were also taken from Tkacz, which Crozier says is unfair, according to the Rep-Am.
