Woman feared for safety as dogs attacked cat, trial told

A Hamilton cat owner says she feared for her own safety when two pit bull terriers attacked her cat in July last year. Dog owner Toni Walker, also of Hamilton, is defending charges of owning a dog that attacked a domestic pet, failing to keep a dog under a control, and not having the menacing dog muzzled.

Raewyn Osborne told the court she was in the kitchen at her Croall Cr home in St Andrews, when she heard her cat screaming and dogs growling outside.
"I went to have a look on the driveway and there were two dogs. One had the hind leg and the other had the head area. They were ripping the cat like a tug of war. I feared for my safety but I knew I had to get the cat off the dogs," she said.

Hamilton City Council dog control officer Paul Thomson said he spotted one of the dogs on neighbouring Heath St and caught it with the help of a member of the public, who told him the other dog – was owned by Walker.
Walker's lawyer, Soraya Baker, said it was a case of mistaken identity. The trial continues today
