Owner of dogs in fatal attack makes case to save them

CRITICAL CONDITION AT A SOURCE

IN THE COURTROOM TELLS US TWO

OFFICERS BROKE BONES DURING THE

SCUFFLE.

>>> FOR THE FIRST TIME WE'RE

HEARING FROM THE OWNER OF TWO

DOGS ATTACKED AND KILLING A 7-

YEAR-OLD GIRL, INJURING A

MOTHER IN APRIL.

VIDEO WAS RELEASED ALONG WITH

THE INTERNET CAMPAIGN DAYS

BEFORE A JUDGE COULD RULE ON

THE FUTURE OF THE DOGS.

AMANDA LAMB REACHED OUT TO THE

OWNER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR

INTERVIEW BUT HE DECLINED.

TONIGHT, SHE SHARES WHAT HE IS

CLAIMING IN THE VALUE OF

TOMORROW'S HEARING.

>> TODAY

Y

>> Reporter: 33 MINUTES VIDEO

RECORDED AND POSTED ONLINE.

>> THESE TWO SERVICE DOGS ARE

REALLY VICIOUS AND A PUBLIC

SAFETY HAZARD.

>> Reporter: THEY WERE IN

QUARANTINE SINCE THE FATAL

ATTACK IN APRIL.

A 7-YEAR-OLD AND HER MOTHER

VISITING THE PIT BULLS WHILE

NEIGHBORS WERE ON VACATION IN

CALIFORNIA WHILE PLAYING WITH

THE DOGS IN THEIR NEIGHBORS

YARD.

JADEN FELL IN THE DOGS ATTACKED

AND KILLED HER.

A MOMENT WHITE SAID SHOULD

NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.

>> SOME PACKAGES WERE BROUGHT

IN TO PLAY WITH DOGS.

>> Reporter: THEY SHOWED VIDEO

FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.

>> THEY WERE NOWHERE NEAR THE

BACKYARD DURING A GAME OF FETCH

PLAYING WITH THE DOGS.

SO, THAT MUCH IS KNOWN.

>> Reporter: THEY POINT OUT

THAT JADEN APPEARS TO BE ALONE

AND DESCRIBES HER DEMEANOR.

>> YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE

CHILD IS AFRAID OF THE DOG SHE

HAS HANDS BEHIND HER BACK AND

JUMPS BACK.

THIS IS NOT A CHILD WITH DOGS

OF HER OWN.

SHE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO

INTERACT WITH DOGS.

SHE NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN

THERE.

>> Reporter: NOT INCLUDED IN

THE VIDEO IS THE TEXT EXCHANGE.

AND IT, A PHOTO IS SHARED OF

SHADING WITH THE DOGS A FEW

DAYS BEFORE THE ATTACK.

AMANDA WHITE THANKED HER FOR

HER HELP.

THEY SPOKE ABOUT THIS IN MAY.

>> IT MAKES ME THINK THERE WAS

A THOUGHT THAT IT WAS SHADE

INSTALLED OR MY VAULT.

>> I AM RESPONSE TO THE VIDEO,

THE PARENTS SAY WE CAN'T BEGIN

TO ADDRESS ALL OF THE FALSE

ALLEGATIONS BEING MADE.

THE SIMPLE FACT IS UNPROVOKED

LEAVE THE DOGS SHOULD NOT

RETURN TO SOCIETY TO POSSIBLY

HURT OR KILL AGAIN.

THE VIDEO GOES ON TO QUESTION

AND CRITICIZE COVERAGE FROM

WRAL BECAUSE THEY WORK AT THE

STATION.

ARE REPORTERS REPEATEDLY

REACHED OUT TO THE FAMILY AND

ATTORNEYS TO BUY THAT WOULD

HAPPEN.

THEY DEEMED THE DOG DANGEROUS

AND DENIED THE OWNERS A

DANGEROUS DOCK PERMIT TO ALLOW

THEM TO KEEP THE ANIMALS.

TOMORROW A JUDGE COULD DECIDE
