A small dog named Juju was brutally attacked and killed by two pit bulls while on a walk with its owner, Monica Reyes. Despite attempts to rescue Juju, the intervention of a nearby worker using a taser was too late to save him. The incident sparked outrage, highlighting the gaps in existing New York laws that treat pets as property, thus failing to appropriately address dog attacks. The owner of a different dog, Penny, also attacked, is advocating for 'Penny's Law' to impose criminal responsibility on negligent dog owners.
"I was trying to get him out of the pit bull's mouth while my daughter was crying, and I was trying to protect the kids from getting attacked."
"That could have been anyone's family member, anyone's kid. Like, who's next?"
