As owner releases new video, judge could decide fate of dogs that killed 7-year-old Garner girl

In the 53-minute long video, Joseph White breaks his silence and pleas to keep the dogs alive.

The video shows Jayden Henderson and her mother, Heather Trevaskis, a WRAL employee, prior to the attack in April. They were visiting the dogs while their neighbors, Joseph and Amanda White, were on vacation in California.

In the video, White explained the incident in detail, at times insinuating Trevaskis and her daughter were to blame.

Jayden was playing with the dogs in the Whites' yard when she fell, and the dogs attacked and killed her.

It is a moment that Joseph White says should have never happened.

"They chose to come over to bring some packages in and to go play with our dogs," he says.

He shows video from a Nest camera from inside his house.

"Heather was no where near Jayden in my backyard during this game of fetch or playing with the dogs out," he says.

White points to 30 seconds of the Nest video that appears to show Jayden alone, and he describes her demeanor.

"You can clearly see that this child is afraid of that dog. She's got her hand behind her back. She jumps back. This is not a child that has dogs of her own. She does not know how to interact with dogs. She should have never been there," White says.

“They’re service animals," he says in the video. "They go everywhere. They love everybody. They’ll go to Hooters and eat some wings with me. You know, they’ll go to Lowes and Home Depot with me. They were people-friendly dogs.”

The pit bulls, Athena, 3, and Blitzen, 8, have been in quarantine since the attack in April.

"Decide for yourself if these two service dogs are really vicious and a public safety hazard," he says, over photos of the dogs.

WRAL News has reached out to White multiple times for an interview, but he has declined.

In response to the video, Jayden's parents say, “We can't begin to address all the false allegations that are being made. The simple fact is, unprovoked lethal dogs should not return to society to possibly hurt or kill again.”​

WRAL News will be in the courtroom for the hearing.

Not included in White's video is the text exchange between Trevaskis and White's wife, Amanda. Trevaskis shared a photo of Jayden with the dogs a few days before the attack. White replied and thanked her for her help.

A month after the attack, Trevaskis told WRAL News, "It angered me to think that there was a thought that it was Jayden and my fault, that we caused it."

In the video, White questions and criticizes WRAL’s coverage because Trevaskis is a station employee.

“We’ve covered this story seeking truth and fairness just as we do with other stories,” said Rick Gall, WRAL news director. “Our reporters have repeatedly reached out to the Whites and their attorney for comment and have impartially shared what they provided.”
