Chattanooga: Dog owner ordered to pay restitution after attack

The owner of two dogs that that attacked another canine last week was fined and ordered to pay for the wounded animal's care Thursday.

Chattanooga City Court Judge Sherry Paty ordered Tonya Bryant, owner of a pit bull and an Alaskan malamute, to pay more than $400 to the McKamey Animal Care and Adoption Center in the March 20 attack on North Hills Road in Hixson.

Bryant's dogs attacked Denny and Nancy Crittenden's three-legged Labrador retriever in their yard on March 20, according to court records. Denny Crittenden stopped the attack by shooting the pit bull four times. The pit bull was later euthanized.
