Fremont family charged in dog mauling case:
A 9-month-old baby was mauled by a boxer, the dog not the athlete, that was owned by his aunt who was baby sitting him.
Thirty-seven-year-old Annette Marie Hodgson, who is the little boy’s aunt and babysitter, and 22-year-old Samantha Laniz, who is his sister and owner of the dog, both pleaded not guilty.
According to the charges, they endangered the little boy’s life by not controlling the boxer, named Tyson. He bit the nine-month-old, causing serious injuries to the face and neck.
The charges claim that the women knew the dog was dangerous because it had attacked before. The District Attorney said that they had downplayed that first attack so they could get their dog back.
I’ve known some sweet boxers and I’ve known some mean ass boxers so this isn’t an indictment on the breed. However I’ve been noticing a trend lately that boxers are slowly starting to replace pitbulls as the dog of choice for dumpster dwellers.
