US EditionTones and I Fined After Pet American Bulldog Mauls Cavoodle
- Australian pop singer Toni Elizabeth Watson was fined after her American bulldog escaped from her Mornington Peninsula property and killed a neighbour’s 17-year-old cavoodle in November 2023.
- The attack happened when Watson’s friend Tahlia let the chocolate Labrador inside by opening the gate, which allowed the bulldog Boss to slip out and attack the neighbour Wayne Schultz’s cavoodle during a walk.
- Three people, including Schultz and a passer-by who fractured his hand, had to intervene to separate the dogs, but the cavoodle died from neck injuries and Schultz sustained a bite and bruising to his knee and eye.
- Watson was fined $3,000 plus $140 in council costs for failing to securely confine and re-register her dog, while the bulldog was euthanised and Watson remains on good terms with Schultz despite declining to cover the cavoodle's cremation.
- The court treated the matter as civil with no criminal charges filed, and an animal behaviourist described the incident as a quickly escalating and tragic situation influenced by bad timing and bad luck.
