A Cayman Brac man was ordered to pay more than $1,200 in compensation to a person who was attacked by his dog.
The dog owner was charged with failing to keep a dog under proper control and suffering a ferocious dog to be at large.
According to court documents, in March, the man’s black-and-white pitbull-mix dog entered a yard in Spot Bay, where the animal attacked and killed another dog and injured the person.
In August, the dog owner pleaded guilty to both charges. On Thursday, 12 Dec., Summary Court Magistrate Kirsty-Ann Gunn recorded no conviction on each count, and a 12-month probation order which requires the defendant to complete 120 hours of community service. The Cayman Compass is not naming the defendant as no conviction was recorded.
Magistrate Gunn ordered the man to pay $821 to the victim, and $441 dollars to the owner of the dog that was killed.
The defendant’s dog was ordered to be destroyed.
