Woman Attacked by Three Boxer Dogs

On July 6, 2009, in Billings, Montana, Laurah Peron was outside on her front porch spraying for bugs when up behind her came three boxer dogs that are owned by her neighbor. The dogs viciously attacked her left leg and right hand. Peron’s attorney Solomon Neuhardt states “the attack was completely unprovoked by Ms. Peron.” She had her back turned when the three dogs charged her. A neighbor heard Peron scream and came running to her aid. The neighbor helped Peron into the attached garage of her house (she was unable to get in the front door because it was locked; she had come out of the house through the attached garage door). Finally after several failed attempts, Peron and the neighbor finally shut the animals out of the garage. Another neighbor took Peron to the hospital where she received 29 stitches. One of the dogs that attacked was not up on its rabies shots, so Peron now has to undergo several preventive rabies shots.

Animal control wrote a total of nine tickets to the owner including a ticket for not having a dog vaccinated for rabies. The owner Leon Garcia is set to appear in Municipal Court on July 30. When asked about Ms. Peron’s feelings towards her neighbor her attorney Solomon Neuhardt says, “The owner of the dogs clearly has deliberate indifference about this situation. One of the dogs did not have rabies shots, the owner has not apologized about the vicious attack or offered to pay her astounding medical bills.”
