Press Release – NZ Legal
Auckland business Sticks & Bones Limited and its owner Amanda Easterbrook have prosecuted Auckland dog owner, Linda Evans, over a 2017 dog attack that left Easterbrook’s dog dead, and Easterbrook herself with serious injuries to both of her hands requiring multiple surgeries.
The proceeding filed in the Auckland District Court alleges that Evan’s failed to disclose to Easterbrook that her dog, a Bull Terrier Cross, was dangerous. Evan’s dog is said to have previously killed a domestic cat and had been expelled from three pet care facilities for aggressive and predatory behaviour.
Easterbrook, a professional dog walker, took Evan’s dog out for an assessment walk, when the dog suddenly attacked, mauling her dog to death in front of her. Easterbrook had removed the dog’s muzzle unaware of the dog’s dangerous history. Easterbrook now suffers from post-traumatic-stress-disorder, recurrent nightmares, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and loss of trust
