The owner of two pit bulls appeared before Magistrate Allan Wilson yesterday, to answer to the charge of setting ferocious dogs at large and pleaded guilty.
According to Police Prosecutor Renetta Bentham, on the morning of April 16, at Fort Street, Kingston Georgetown, Margaret Johnnie, 56, an employee of Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GT&T)  called at the home of the defendant, Paul Persaud, to urge one Rebecca Persaud to settle her account. Two unmuzzled Pit-bull dogs subsequently ran out of the open gate and attacked Johnnie.
As a result; she sustained severe injuries to her leg and bottom. A report was made to the police and the defendant was arrested and charged with the said offence.
Persaud claimed that the dogs were always tied but on the day in question they broke their chains. He alleged that he was asleep at the time and was awakened by the screams of Johnnie. He then ran downstairs and chased the dogs off. He further assisted in cleaning her wounds and offered to take her to the hospital.
The defendant was ordered to pay a fine of $10,000. He was further admonished by Magistrate Wilson to dispose of the dogs or “pull out their teeth” before he lands in more trouble.
