1
00:00:00,166 --> 00:00:03,066
Your dog grabbed her dog in the mouth.
2
00:00:03,133 --> 00:00:04,567
I yelled at my dog.
3
00:00:04,633 --> 00:00:05,900
No. No.
4
00:00:05,967 --> 00:00:07,500
I didn't see any blood or anything.
5
00:00:07,567 --> 00:00:09,200
Her head was punctured.
6
00:00:09,266 --> 00:00:11,367
Your dogs came running up to my dog.
7
00:00:11,433 --> 00:00:13,166
- No, no, no...
- That's not true.
8
00:00:13,233 --> 00:00:15,767
You wanna continue with this case
or you wanna go?
9
00:00:15,834 --> 00:00:18,066
This is Judy Justice.
10
00:00:36,734 --> 00:00:39,667
{\an8}Nanette Hyland
is suing her former neighbor,
11
00:00:39,734 --> 00:00:43,533
{\an8}Sahara Carrillo for vet bills
after a dog attack.
12
00:00:44,633 --> 00:00:46,667
Court, come to order. All rise.
13
00:00:46,734 --> 00:00:48,633
Have a seat, please.
14
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:52,300
{\an8}Hello, Judge. Case #2042,
Hyland versus Carrillo.
15
00:00:52,367 --> 00:00:53,700
{\an8}- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,300
Tell me your dog's name.
17
00:00:56,367 --> 00:00:57,233
Faith.
18
00:00:57,300 --> 00:00:59,200
- How old is Faith?
- Eleven.
19
00:00:59,266 --> 00:01:01,233
How long have you had her, Miss Hyland?
20
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:02,967
Since she was five weeks old.
21
00:01:03,033 --> 00:01:06,166
{\an8}When did you live next door
to the Defendant?
22
00:01:06,233 --> 00:01:08,333
It was across the way, but, um...
23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,433
It's across?
24
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:13,500
Yeah. My side of the door
faced her side of the door.
25
00:01:13,567 --> 00:01:16,333
And there was a grassy knoll
in between.
26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,900
Do you have a photograph?
27
00:01:17,967 --> 00:01:19,300
- No, I don't.
- Do you?
28
00:01:19,367 --> 00:01:20,533
I'd like to see it.
29
00:01:22,467 --> 00:01:25,867
That's mine. And this is
where hers would be.
30
00:01:25,934 --> 00:01:28,433
- Okay, thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
31
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:33,633
Okay, so, this is whose trailer?
32
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:34,567
Hers.
33
00:01:34,633 --> 00:01:38,166
Miss Carrillo, is there a street in
between this area
34
00:01:38,233 --> 00:01:39,767
That's where hers would be.
35
00:01:39,834 --> 00:01:40,767
Where?
36
00:01:40,834 --> 00:01:44,133
In that area where the rocky thing...
Right after the grass.
37
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,834
Kevin, give this to the Defendant
and have her point...
38
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:49,000
- Maybe this one's better.
- ...point where
39
00:01:49,066 --> 00:01:50,667
the Plaintiff's trailer would be.
40
00:01:50,734 --> 00:01:52,900
- Okay.
- And where hers was.
41
00:01:52,967 --> 00:01:55,433
This is where hers is,
would've been right here.
42
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:59,133
Just put "Plaintiff" and show me
where yours was.
43
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,834
Mine is right here.
44
00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:02,200
Put it down.
45
00:02:03,533 --> 00:02:06,000
Let me see if that
makes it clear to me, Kevin.
46
00:02:06,066 --> 00:02:07,533
Thank you.
47
00:02:11,166 --> 00:02:13,967
Yours is here, Plaintiff's is here.
48
00:02:14,033 --> 00:02:17,133
And this large grass area
is a common area?
49
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,166
Yeah.
50
00:02:18,233 --> 00:02:20,266
Is a common area, 'cause
you're all the way down here.
51
00:02:20,333 --> 00:02:22,100
This is a relatively large space.
52
00:02:22,166 --> 00:02:23,233
It's only like...
53
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:25,266
- I wasn't talking to you.
- Sorry.
54
00:02:25,333 --> 00:02:28,700
Okay. And the incident that
involved your pet, Miss Hyland,
55
00:02:28,767 --> 00:02:31,734
{\an8}happened on October 8th, 2021.
56
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,300
{\an8}Yeah, it was actually October ninth,
after going back through the paperwork.
57
00:02:36,367 --> 00:02:39,000
You are no longer in this trailer park?
58
00:02:39,066 --> 00:02:41,133
No. It's an RV park, but yeah.
59
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,133
An RV park. How long were you there?
60
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,333
Four or five months. It was like
mid to end of May.
61
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,367
And this happened in October, and
within three weeks I bought a place.
62
00:02:53,433 --> 00:02:56,133
And that's your dog, that's the dog that
was injured that day?
63
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,000
And what kind of a dog do you have?
64
00:02:58,066 --> 00:03:00,633
A Vizsla mix, boxer.
65
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:02,867
- A Vizsla.
- Vizsla, uh-huh.
66
00:03:02,934 --> 00:03:05,533
So, tell me what happened, Miss Hyland,
on October ninth.
67
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,767
I had gotten up and I was
taking my girls out to go potty.
68
00:03:10,834 --> 00:03:12,000
How many of those do you have?
69
00:03:12,066 --> 00:03:16,500
Two. I have a puppy that's
almost two years old, and then Faith.
70
00:03:16,567 --> 00:03:20,900
So, I was taking my girls out to go potty,
and I'd been looking
71
00:03:20,967 --> 00:03:26,633
{\an8}to make sure that the dog was inside.
And I didn't see the dog.
72
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:31,467
And it was on its chain under her trailer, apparently,
73
00:03:31,533 --> 00:03:33,633
- because when we came outside...
- No.
74
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:35,467
Was your dog on a chain?
75
00:03:35,533 --> 00:03:36,500
On a leash, yeah.
76
00:03:36,567 --> 00:03:38,100
What kind of leash?
77
00:03:38,166 --> 00:03:39,900
- This.
- That's not right.
78
00:03:39,967 --> 00:03:41,633
That's not true.
79
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:43,133
- That's a leash.
- Right.
80
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,367
That's a leash. She says
the dog was on a chain.
81
00:03:45,433 --> 00:03:47,266
- No.
- Yes, it was.
82
00:03:47,333 --> 00:03:48,967
- I don't have a chain.
- Ssh! Ssh!
83
00:03:49,033 --> 00:03:51,633
- Okay.
- I don't have a chain, never had a chain.
84
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:53,266
{\an8}It's been a leash.
85
00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:58,166
Were you outside on October ninth
at the time of this incident?
86
00:03:58,233 --> 00:04:00,066
Were you outside when it started?
87
00:04:00,133 --> 00:04:03,567
Yes. I was outside, on top of my stairs.
88
00:04:03,633 --> 00:04:04,567
No, you weren't.
89
00:04:04,633 --> 00:04:07,667
Okay. You're not allowed to answer her.
I'll come back to you.
90
00:04:07,734 --> 00:04:10,834
Okay, so, you're taking your dogs
out to potty.
91
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:13,166
Were they on a leash or off-leash?
92
00:04:13,233 --> 00:04:14,266
They were on a leash.
93
00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:15,767
But she didn't have 'em...
94
00:04:15,834 --> 00:04:17,100
- Don't speak.
- Okay.
95
00:04:17,166 --> 00:04:20,166
I always have 'em on a leash
whenever they go outside.
96
00:04:20,233 --> 00:04:22,300
Were they on a leash on October ninth?
97
00:04:22,367 --> 00:04:24,500
- Yes.
- Okay, so you were taking them out...
98
00:04:24,567 --> 00:04:29,734
Although, you did say, Miss Hyland,
that you let them out in your front yard,
99
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,900
is what you said, I believe,
in your complaint.
100
00:04:32,967 --> 00:04:33,934
Let me see.
101
00:04:35,567 --> 00:04:38,467
You didn't say "I took,"
you said, "I let my dogs out
102
00:04:38,533 --> 00:04:40,834
in the front yard to go to the bathroom."
103
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:45,800
Mm-hmm. When I say "let e'm out,"
let me clarify, okay.
104
00:04:45,867 --> 00:04:47,800
I'm always with my dogs.
105
00:04:47,867 --> 00:04:51,934
I know you say you're always with them,
that's not my question.
106
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,934
My question to you was a simple one.
107
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,033
Were they on-leash or off-leash?
108
00:04:58,100 --> 00:04:59,900
- Yeah.
- Yes, what?
109
00:04:59,967 --> 00:05:02,300
They were on their leashes, mm-hmm.
110
00:05:02,367 --> 00:05:05,567
Be careful. You took them out, on leashes,
in the front grass?
111
00:05:05,633 --> 00:05:07,800
- Mm-hmm.
- And what happened?
112
00:05:07,867 --> 00:05:12,166
When we got down to
the bottom of the steps,
113
00:05:12,233 --> 00:05:17,533
her dog came out from
underneath the trailer and grabbed Faith.
114
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,867
Well, she was on a leash.
115
00:05:18,934 --> 00:05:22,867
{\an8}Yeah, but she grabbed her.
The puppy started to go one way
116
00:05:22,934 --> 00:05:28,533
{\an8}and I had Faith, and dropped her leash,
and the puppy was going...
117
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,433
Like, she got out of my hand
and was taking off.
118
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:34,700
And her dog was under the trailer,
didn't know it,
119
00:05:34,767 --> 00:05:38,767
because I had been watching
to make sure she had been inside,
120
00:05:38,834 --> 00:05:43,567
but didn't see her or the dog out.
And she came out of the trailer
121
00:05:43,633 --> 00:05:45,967
after the dog grabbed Faith.
122
00:05:46,033 --> 00:05:49,700
In what location did her dog grab Faith?
123
00:05:49,767 --> 00:05:53,700
Right by my trailer.
Right by my steps, where I had my steps.
124
00:05:53,767 --> 00:05:57,367
The chain was long enough
for the dog to go past the tree
125
00:05:57,433 --> 00:06:00,266
that was right there in between
the two properties.
126
00:06:00,333 --> 00:06:04,100
- And she came out and started...
- Your dogs came running up to my dog.
127
00:06:04,166 --> 00:06:06,467
- Just a second.
- You didn't have a hold of the leash.
128
00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:09,467
That's because the dog broke free.
129
00:06:09,533 --> 00:06:11,600
You want to continue with this case
or you wanna go?
130
00:06:11,667 --> 00:06:13,200
No, I wanna continue.
131
00:06:13,266 --> 00:06:15,700
Then, let's understand,
we don't talk to each other.
132
00:06:15,767 --> 00:06:21,300
So, your version of the events is that
her dog was chained under her trailer,
133
00:06:21,367 --> 00:06:26,600
you came out with your dogs, on leash.
The puppy ran away, you dropped her leash.
134
00:06:26,667 --> 00:06:30,934
Her dog got your dog and
took your dog back to her trailer.
135
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,867
Yeah.
136
00:06:31,934 --> 00:06:34,100
At what point did she
come out of the trailer?
137
00:06:34,166 --> 00:06:37,066
{\an8}After the second time her dog
had picked up Faith
138
00:06:37,133 --> 00:06:39,834
{\an8}and Faith was screaming and
I was screaming.
139
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:45,433
Okay. Miss Carrlllo, have you ever had
an incident with your dog before?
140
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:47,767
- With another dog?
- No, I haven't. No, I haven't.
141
00:06:47,834 --> 00:06:49,533
- That's a lie, 'cause...
- Ssh!
142
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,967
I want you to think carefully.
Have you ever had another incident
143
00:06:54,033 --> 00:06:56,266
with your dog and another dog?
144
00:06:56,333 --> 00:06:58,367
{\an8}- No.
- How long have you had your dog?
145
00:06:58,433 --> 00:07:02,633
{\an8}Since she was a puppy. Nine years.
Since, uh, 2013.
146
00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:06,934
And this is the first time she
aggressively bit another animal?
147
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Yes.
148
00:07:08,066 --> 00:07:10,567
You have information
to the contrary, Miss Hyland?
149
00:07:10,633 --> 00:07:12,533
- Yeah. Because when I...
- Okay. Ssh.
150
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,700
I'd like you to tell me.
151
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:17,734
When I first moved in, she even told me
about how her dog
152
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,500
- had killed a couple other dogs.
- Wow.
153
00:07:20,567 --> 00:07:22,133
Okay. Tell me about that.
154
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,367
She just told me to make sure
I was careful with my dogs
155
00:07:25,433 --> 00:07:30,266
because her dog has a history of attacking
and aggression toward other dogs.
156
00:07:30,333 --> 00:07:33,033
No. Well, those are conclusions.
You first said
157
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:35,500
that her dog killed two dogs...
- She did.
158
00:07:35,567 --> 00:07:40,400
She told me that her dog was aggressive
and that it has a history
159
00:07:40,467 --> 00:07:44,900
of killing other dogs and
that it had already killed other dogs,
160
00:07:44,967 --> 00:07:48,266
and that's why she got kicked out
of her last RV park.
161
00:07:48,333 --> 00:07:53,667
I've never lived in another RV park.
That's my first RV park ever, living at.
162
00:07:53,734 --> 00:07:54,934
Where did you live before?
163
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,633
At my mom's on Main Avenue.
164
00:07:57,700 --> 00:08:02,333
Did you ever indicate to Miss Hyland that
she should keep her dogs close to her?
165
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,033
We've never spoken, prior to the incident.
We never... I mean,
166
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:09,834
just maybe a "hi." She just had moved in.
I never spoke to her.
167
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:13,367
You wanna tell me your version
of what happened on the ninth of October?
168
00:08:13,433 --> 00:08:17,200
Yes. I was outside, on top of my stairs.
I was sweeping,
169
00:08:17,266 --> 00:08:19,266
and my dog was
at the bottom of the stairs.
170
00:08:19,333 --> 00:08:23,967
I have her tied up to the stairs.
There's a ring where I clip her leash to,
171
00:08:24,033 --> 00:08:27,433
so she can't go far. It's just
this distance, while I was sweeping.
172
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:29,100
Would you hand that to me, please?
173
00:08:29,166 --> 00:08:33,233
And I can hear her dogs barking
while they were inside.
174
00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:34,900
Would you open it for me?
175
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,433
Okay. What you're telling me is,
176
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:44,333
that this is what you tie on,
under the stairs.
177
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,700
Where did you tie it?
178
00:08:45,767 --> 00:08:47,834
This part, right here. And then, I have...
179
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:48,867
Where?
180
00:08:48,934 --> 00:08:51,834
I have to show you how I have it,
put it on. Can you give it back?
181
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:53,333
Let her show me.
182
00:08:57,767 --> 00:09:02,033
I would clip it onto her harness,
and then this would clip to the bottom.
183
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:03,967
- What harness?
- My dog's harness.
184
00:09:04,033 --> 00:09:07,133
Are you telling me that your dog
was on a two-foot lead?
185
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,133
Yes. I have her right there,
when I'm right there. Yes.
186
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,734
- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah.
187
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,100
The neighbor can vouch to that.
188
00:09:15,700 --> 00:09:16,767
Should I come up?
189
00:09:16,834 --> 00:09:18,300
Mm-hmm.
190
00:09:20,266 --> 00:09:22,333
So, you did see part of this incident.
191
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,900
- Correct.
- Careful.
192
00:09:23,967 --> 00:09:26,734
You saw it from your trailer,
from your RV?
193
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,000
Sitting outside my trailer,
in front of my trailer.
194
00:09:29,066 --> 00:09:32,667
So, I want you to tell me
exactly what you saw.
195
00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:47,033
{\an8}Nanette Hyland
claims her former neighbor,
196
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:52,867
{\an8}Sahara Carrillo, owes for vet bills after
Sahara's dog attacked her chihuahua.
197
00:09:52,934 --> 00:09:55,100
- Tell me your name.
- My name is Garrett Newhouse.
198
00:09:55,166 --> 00:09:58,333
Mr. Newhouse, how long have you been
the Defendant's neighbor?
199
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,033
Two, three years.
200
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,700
Did you see the dog on that gizmo?
201
00:10:02,767 --> 00:10:03,834
Yes.
202
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:06,233
How far do you live
from the Defendant?
203
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:09,367
I'm directly behind Sahara.
I'm just right behind her.
204
00:10:09,433 --> 00:10:12,433
Behind hers. So you face
the back or the front of her trailer?
205
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:14,767
{\an8}The front of my trailer
faces the back of her trailer.
206
00:10:14,834 --> 00:10:17,867
{\an8}The door is the same direction,
towards the yard.
207
00:10:17,934 --> 00:10:20,266
So that you don't see her front door.
208
00:10:20,333 --> 00:10:23,867
Her trailer's angled so that
I can see her front door.
209
00:10:23,934 --> 00:10:27,233
Okay. You want to tell me your version
of what happened on the ninth?
210
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:28,300
You can sit down.
211
00:10:28,367 --> 00:10:31,600
I was outside, on top of my stairs,
my dog was at the bottom.
212
00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:33,467
- On the bottom...
- On this thing, okay.
213
00:10:33,533 --> 00:10:37,066
I have a hook that I clip her,
uh, leash to.
214
00:10:37,133 --> 00:10:41,233
And she was sunbathing right there.
I move her other places,
215
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:44,734
but while I was there, sweeping on top,
she was right there.
216
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,200
So, then, I hear her dogs inside,
they were barking.
217
00:10:49,266 --> 00:10:52,967
And then, all of a sudden, I hear the door
open and the dogs just come rushing,
218
00:10:53,033 --> 00:10:57,233
both of her dogs. They had leashes on,
but she wasn't holding the leashes.
219
00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:01,934
And then, my dog grabbed her dog,
and I yelled at my dog
220
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,266
and whacked her on her head,
and she dropped the dog.
221
00:11:04,333 --> 00:11:06,367
And then, that's when
she was on her way...
222
00:11:06,433 --> 00:11:08,333
- How did that happen?
- What do you mean?
223
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,100
Your dog is on a two-foot lead.
You heard her dogs coming out.
224
00:11:12,166 --> 00:11:16,667
{\an8}You were on top of the stairs, you saw
her dogs, according to you, running,
225
00:11:16,734 --> 00:11:18,900
{\an8}and your dog is on this much...
226
00:11:18,967 --> 00:11:20,166
This much, yes.
227
00:11:20,233 --> 00:11:23,934
No, actually, not that much
'cause you made a loop...
228
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,400
Yeah, that's the way I do it.
229
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:29,300
Well, not a moment ago, you made it,
you made a loop,
230
00:11:29,367 --> 00:11:33,367
so it was on about this much.
And on about this much lead,
231
00:11:33,433 --> 00:11:37,066
your dog picked up her dog in the mouth,
how many times?
232
00:11:37,133 --> 00:11:39,700
Just that one time.
And it's this long.
233
00:11:39,767 --> 00:11:44,667
You can see where the area is all dirt
where she stays on
234
00:11:44,734 --> 00:11:49,367
and runs around it or messes in the dirt.
The grass is still right there,
235
00:11:49,433 --> 00:11:53,000
where it's nice and green, and the area
where she sits in is right there.
236
00:11:53,066 --> 00:11:54,600
Right in front of my stairs.
237
00:11:54,667 --> 00:12:00,400
And so, your dog grabbed her dog
in the mouth while close to your trailer.
238
00:12:00,467 --> 00:12:03,433
- At my trailer, yeah.
- At your trailer. And then,
239
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:06,367
you hit it on the rear end and
she spit out the dog.
240
00:12:06,433 --> 00:12:07,900
- Yes.
- And then?
241
00:12:07,967 --> 00:12:12,000
And then, she ran towards her and
she came towards her dog.
242
00:12:12,066 --> 00:12:16,867
This little dog ran towards the Plaintiff,
the Plaintiff ran towards her.
243
00:12:16,934 --> 00:12:18,100
And what did you do?
244
00:12:18,166 --> 00:12:20,633
She went to get her dog and
I brought my dog.
245
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:22,000
How did you grab your dog?
246
00:12:22,066 --> 00:12:24,300
I took her off her leash and
put her inside.
247
00:12:24,367 --> 00:12:27,867
And then, I went to see if her dog,
you know, is your dog okay?
248
00:12:27,934 --> 00:12:30,900
You know, you shoulda had
a hold of her leash.
249
00:12:30,967 --> 00:12:33,133
What did you say to her when you came out?
250
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,367
Is your dog okay?
251
00:12:34,433 --> 00:12:37,100
Is your dog okay?
And what did she say to you?
252
00:12:37,166 --> 00:12:40,800
{\an8}I can't remember. She was just, you know,
your dog got my dog
253
00:12:40,867 --> 00:12:42,734
{\an8}I'm like, how come
you didn't have the leash?
254
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,133
They were on leashes,
but she wasn't holding them.
255
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,367
And she said because of her legs,
that she couldn't.
256
00:12:47,433 --> 00:12:50,667
And I told her, you shouldn't have dogs
if you can't take care of 'em.
257
00:12:50,734 --> 00:12:52,367
Just a second.
Is that what you said to her,
258
00:12:52,433 --> 00:12:54,533
you shouldn't have dogs
if you can't take care of them?
259
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,367
I mean, they can't be loose,
there's a leash law,
260
00:12:57,433 --> 00:12:59,700
and she didn't have the leash.
She had leashes on 'em,
261
00:12:59,767 --> 00:13:01,066
but she didn't have a hold of 'em.
262
00:13:01,133 --> 00:13:04,233
I'm just asking you. That's what
you want me to believe you said to her.
263
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:05,633
That's what I said to her, yeah.
264
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:08,266
You shouldn't have dogs
if you can't take care of them?
265
00:13:08,333 --> 00:13:09,900
- That's what I said.
- Okay.
266
00:13:09,967 --> 00:13:12,200
And did you see her dog injured
in any way?
267
00:13:12,266 --> 00:13:13,133
No.
268
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,734
Can I see the records from the vet,
please?
269
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,967
Yeah. And here's even photos.
270
00:13:19,033 --> 00:13:23,433
Was there a report made to,
either the RV or... Ssh!
271
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:25,166
I didn't finish my question.
272
00:13:25,233 --> 00:13:30,200
Was there a report made to the RV park
or to the police department?
273
00:13:30,266 --> 00:13:32,400
- Yes.
- May I see that too, as well?
274
00:13:32,467 --> 00:13:36,400
I don't have the RV park or
the police report. They could not...
275
00:13:36,467 --> 00:13:40,033
Okay. Not, "they could not."
The answer is, "I don't have them."
276
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:45,700
Yeah. But that's just photos
from the injuries.
277
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,500
I'd like to see
the vet report, please.
278
00:13:50,567 --> 00:13:55,800
This is the neurology. This is
all the other vet stuff.
279
00:13:55,867 --> 00:13:58,800
Don't give me a whole bunch of stuff.
I'd like to see the reports
280
00:13:58,867 --> 00:14:00,333
and the bills from the vet.
281
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:07,700
And I am correct, sir, you did not see
any of this incident. Is that correct?
282
00:14:07,767 --> 00:14:11,700
Only the commotion
when she smacked the dog...
283
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:14,967
I'm asking you... No, no, no, no.
Stand up.
284
00:14:15,033 --> 00:14:17,500
Let's be very careful about your answer.
285
00:14:17,567 --> 00:14:21,400
Am I correct that you didn't see
any of this incident?
286
00:14:21,467 --> 00:14:25,867
{\an8}Only after she had smacked the dog and
he dropped the dog and they were...
287
00:14:25,934 --> 00:14:27,533
That little commotion right there
288
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,400
where she picked up the dog
and went in the house.
289
00:14:29,467 --> 00:14:32,066
You saw it from your trailer,
from your RV?
290
00:14:32,133 --> 00:14:33,400
Sitting outside my trailer.
291
00:14:33,467 --> 00:14:37,133
So, I want you to tell me
exactly what you saw.
292
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,934
- No, look at me.
- Her...
293
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,667
- Who's "her"?
- Um, Sahara.
294
00:14:41,734 --> 00:14:44,500
Her picking up her dog and
going back to her house.
295
00:14:44,567 --> 00:14:46,867
Where was she when she picked up her dog?
296
00:14:46,934 --> 00:14:48,000
Uh...
297
00:14:48,066 --> 00:14:51,333
No. I tell you what you're gonna do,
you're gonna show me right here.
298
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,700
It was halfway between
her house and...
299
00:14:53,767 --> 00:14:55,100
Ssh...
300
00:14:56,667 --> 00:15:01,233
Put a mark where you saw her
where she picked up her dog.
301
00:15:03,767 --> 00:15:06,000
Okay, may I have that, please?
302
00:15:12,233 --> 00:15:14,567
So, she picked up her dog
303
00:15:14,633 --> 00:15:18,467
right near Miss Carrillo's RV?
304
00:15:18,533 --> 00:15:19,567
Correct, yes.
305
00:15:19,633 --> 00:15:20,967
And where was Miss Carrillo?
306
00:15:21,033 --> 00:15:23,367
{\an8}She took the dog up the stairs
and put it in the house.
307
00:15:23,433 --> 00:15:25,266
{\an8}shut the door, and came back out to see.
308
00:15:25,333 --> 00:15:26,934
{\an8}And at that time, were you listening
309
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,166
to what the two women
were saying to each other?
310
00:15:29,233 --> 00:15:30,433
Not really.
311
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:32,333
Were they yelling at each other
or were they calm?
312
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,500
There was yelling.
313
00:15:33,567 --> 00:15:36,166
So, if they were yelling,
could you hear what the yelling was?
314
00:15:36,233 --> 00:15:39,400
I didn't know either one of them at that
time, really, that well.
315
00:15:39,467 --> 00:15:42,600
I think I went back in the house,
at that point, just, whatever.
316
00:15:42,667 --> 00:15:44,433
Thank you. You've been most helpful.
317
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,066
Okay. You have the report for me
from the ninth of October?
318
00:15:48,133 --> 00:15:50,166
- Yeah.
- I'd like to see it.
319
00:15:56,266 --> 00:15:59,266
Okay, so there was one set of stitches
that the dog had.
320
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:00,934
That was her first surgery.
321
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,467
Okay. Let me see the second time
she was there.
322
00:16:03,533 --> 00:16:05,700
This is the stuff for that one.
323
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:13,000
And that's what the...
324
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:17,967
This was the day afterwards.
When did she go back?
325
00:16:18,033 --> 00:16:22,400
It was June 30th, because she
was having grand mal seizures
326
00:16:22,467 --> 00:16:26,533
and they had to keep her because they
had to start her on Phenobarbital
327
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,266
because of the eye injuries and
the head injuries.
328
00:16:31,333 --> 00:16:34,133
Well, it doesn't really talk about
those injuries.
329
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,300
In the pictures, it shows
where her head was punctured.
330
00:16:38,367 --> 00:16:42,233
I see one wound.
And I don't see a photograph...
331
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:46,867
On the picture itself, you see her head,
there's a mark right here,
332
00:16:46,934 --> 00:16:49,300
on her head by her eye.
333
00:16:49,367 --> 00:16:52,633
That was a puncture wound
that they had to clean out.
334
00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:56,533
Okay. The Defendant says
both dogs had a leash on
335
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,834
but that the leashes weren't attached
to your hand.
336
00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:01,433
Is that correct?
337
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:05,800
I... Honestly, I don't remember,
because most of the time,
338
00:17:05,867 --> 00:17:09,867
when I'm coming down the steps,
I have their leash in hand.
339
00:17:09,934 --> 00:17:14,834
And sometimes, like, going down the steps,
I lose the leash,
340
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:19,233
or I drop it and they are
at the bottom of the steps, waiting for me
341
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:22,500
because they know it takes me a minute
to get down the steps.
342
00:17:22,567 --> 00:17:23,533
Okay.
343
00:17:25,133 --> 00:17:30,033
If you're standing on your steps sweeping,
you see her dogs running across,
344
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:33,900
then you jump down from the step
and you grab your dog.
345
00:17:33,967 --> 00:17:36,867
Didn't she say that she wasn't sure
if she was holding the leash?
346
00:17:36,934 --> 00:17:38,400
Her dogs came rushing to my dog.
347
00:17:38,467 --> 00:17:41,000
I don't answer your questions.
348
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,367
{\an8}Nanette Hyland
says her former neighbor,
349
00:17:55,433 --> 00:17:59,967
{\an8}Sahara Carrillo, is responsible
for her chihuahua's vet bills.
350
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:04,700
Sahara claims her dog was tied up and
Nanette's dog ran under her property.
351
00:18:04,767 --> 00:18:08,266
At any time, did Faith run across the
lawn?
352
00:18:08,333 --> 00:18:13,734
No, she was right by the steps
because the tree is right there.
353
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,800
it was like, in between our spaces
isn't even as big as this.
354
00:18:18,867 --> 00:18:23,266
In between here and
your front of the bench.
355
00:18:23,333 --> 00:18:27,400
And literally, she was grabbed
right by my steps.
356
00:18:27,467 --> 00:18:31,600
Was any report made by you
to any animal control?
357
00:18:31,667 --> 00:18:36,767
I called 911 and reported it and
they can't find the report,
358
00:18:36,834 --> 00:18:41,734
but it was done over the phone. And
I waited for 'em to come out for a week,
359
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,967
and I kept calling them...
360
00:18:43,033 --> 00:18:45,800
I did it over the phone with them.
361
00:18:45,867 --> 00:18:50,800
Did you ascertain from the Defendant
whether her dog was up to date
362
00:18:50,867 --> 00:18:52,266
in rabies shots?
363
00:18:52,333 --> 00:18:56,433
I didn't ask any questions afterwards,
I was just trying to make sure
364
00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:58,867
and find out what was going on with her.
365
00:18:58,934 --> 00:19:03,567
Did anyone from the RV park come and
discuss the incident with you?
366
00:19:03,633 --> 00:19:05,500
They just asked me what happened.
367
00:19:05,567 --> 00:19:07,100
So, the answer is yes.
368
00:19:07,166 --> 00:19:12,033
Do you have any sort of documentation of
that discussion that they had with you?
369
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:13,400
There was no documentation.
370
00:19:13,467 --> 00:19:15,934
Do you remember
the name of the person you spoke to?
371
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,567
- Yes. Yes.
- Are you still at the RV park?
372
00:19:18,633 --> 00:19:23,333
Did you tell the RV park that there was
a witness to this event?
373
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,867
- No.
- Well, there were two different versions
374
00:19:25,934 --> 00:19:29,633
of the event. One says that
your dog came and attacked hers,
375
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:34,066
{\an8}and you say that her chihuahua came and
was aggressive toward your dog.
376
00:19:34,133 --> 00:19:37,166
{\an8}But you have, allegedly,
an independent witness
377
00:19:37,233 --> 00:19:40,300
who saw part or most of it who you
brought to court today.
378
00:19:40,367 --> 00:19:45,867
I assume that the Plaintiff communicated
to the RV park that your dog was at fault.
379
00:19:45,934 --> 00:19:47,166
- Correct?
- Yes.
380
00:19:47,233 --> 00:19:49,066
And you say your dog was not at fault.
381
00:19:49,133 --> 00:19:53,333
Is there any reason why you didn't tell
the RV park that there was a witness?
382
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,800
Oh, because I didn't know yet.
383
00:19:54,867 --> 00:19:58,900
When did you find out that he
had seen anything of the event?
384
00:19:58,967 --> 00:20:01,333
Maybe, like, uh, three weeks after?
385
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,900
Tell me about that. How did you find out?
that he had seen any part of it?
386
00:20:05,967 --> 00:20:08,300
Because I was talking to him
about what was going on,
387
00:20:08,367 --> 00:20:11,700
that she was gonna take me to court
and then he said that he had seen...
388
00:20:11,767 --> 00:20:14,567
No. So now, you were
talking to your neighbor.
389
00:20:14,633 --> 00:20:16,433
- Right.
- Which meant that you
390
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:19,700
must have been, at least somewhat,
friendly towards him.
391
00:20:19,767 --> 00:20:21,066
At that time, yes.
392
00:20:21,133 --> 00:20:23,834
At the time of the incident,
on the ninth of October.
393
00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:25,967
We didn't know each other that well.
394
00:20:26,033 --> 00:20:29,467
But you had lived there for a long time.
How long had you lived there?
395
00:20:29,533 --> 00:20:31,200
Since July 20th.
396
00:20:31,266 --> 00:20:35,467
And how has he been living there?
How long have you been living there?
397
00:20:35,533 --> 00:20:36,900
A long time, 20 years.
398
00:20:36,967 --> 00:20:39,967
A long time, 20 years. So, my question is,
399
00:20:40,033 --> 00:20:43,300
what prompted you three weeks later
to have a discussion with him?
400
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:45,333
Because I started to get to know him
by then.
401
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,533
I worked. I worked at that time,
I worked a lot.
402
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,734
You know, so I started to, uh,
conversate with my neighbor. That's...
403
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,033
Mm-hmm. Okay. How much
were your vet bills?
404
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:59,066
At this point, it's over $10,000.
405
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:00,500
Have they been paid?
406
00:21:00,567 --> 00:21:02,200
Most of them.
407
00:21:02,266 --> 00:21:04,667
I'd like to see the bills.
The last bill.
408
00:21:04,734 --> 00:21:07,800
And can I say something
about what she said?
409
00:21:07,867 --> 00:21:11,633
First of all, she was in there
way before I was.
410
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:15,233
She had already been there over a year.
And second of all,
411
00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:18,834
the thing is, is she couldn't have
said anything three weeks after
412
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:21,734
because it wasn't after
until my leg recovered
413
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,166
from having to have emergency surgery from
falling right after the incident happened
414
00:21:27,233 --> 00:21:31,967
that I even decided to file court papers.
So the court papers weren't even filed.
415
00:21:32,033 --> 00:21:34,400
- Until when?
- Until June.
416
00:21:34,467 --> 00:21:35,700
I didn't say they were filed.
417
00:21:35,767 --> 00:21:39,400
You said three weeks after.
But anyways, so...
418
00:21:39,467 --> 00:21:41,834
May I see the bills, please?
419
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:43,767
All this happened back in October.
420
00:21:46,166 --> 00:21:49,734
And I literally couldn't get
to the courthouse,
421
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,867
to be able to drive to the courthouse.
422
00:21:52,934 --> 00:21:54,533
How much do you owe the vet?
423
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,633
What I've already paid is over $2,000,
or right around $2,000 in cash
424
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:05,600
that I've paid. But to get her MRI,
I need to pay $3,000.
425
00:22:05,667 --> 00:22:10,300
There is no nexus that can be drawn
between these seizures
426
00:22:10,367 --> 00:22:12,600
- that she's having now, other than the...
- Well...
427
00:22:12,667 --> 00:22:16,000
I'm speaking. Other than
the vet saying that it's possible
428
00:22:16,066 --> 00:22:18,100
- that it can be caused by trauma.
- Yeah.
429
00:22:18,166 --> 00:22:21,767
Other than that, that's the only thing
I saw there. There was not a full report
430
00:22:21,834 --> 00:22:25,867
that said that the trauma that she had
six months before
431
00:22:25,934 --> 00:22:29,567
was the basis for these seizures
that she's having.
432
00:22:29,633 --> 00:22:31,200
Seizures, she's eleven years old.
433
00:22:31,266 --> 00:22:33,300
She was having these seizures
right after the attack.
434
00:22:33,367 --> 00:22:38,266
Miss Hyland, you have to understand
that you need an expert witness
435
00:22:38,333 --> 00:22:42,633
that you don't have, to demonstrate
that the seizures that your dog
436
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:47,233
is currently having is a direct result of
this dog attack. Do you understand?
437
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:49,700
Faith is eleven years old,
and it's possible...
438
00:22:49,767 --> 00:22:51,834
- I have the neurology...
- Just a second.
439
00:22:51,900 --> 00:22:53,967
It's possible that it comes from that,
440
00:22:54,033 --> 00:22:55,900
it's possible it comes
from something else.
441
00:22:55,967 --> 00:22:59,066
I don't deal in possibilities.
All I want to know is,
442
00:22:59,133 --> 00:23:05,100
what vet bills you paid for October ninth
and October tenth.
443
00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:11,066
The actual total was $1,526.62
444
00:23:11,133 --> 00:23:14,333
without her medicine being involved.
445
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,767
Okay. Well, that's a reasonable
vet bill for those two days.
446
00:23:17,834 --> 00:23:19,934
She did have two different surgeries.
447
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,600
And the medications that
you're talking about
448
00:23:22,667 --> 00:23:26,233
- were also included in that $1,526.
- Right.
449
00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:30,867
Other than for the seizures that
you want me to draw a connection with,
450
00:23:30,934 --> 00:23:35,166
which I'm not. And nothing more
is owed to the vet for those two days,
451
00:23:35,233 --> 00:23:36,800
- October ninth and tenth.
- Right.
452
00:23:36,867 --> 00:23:42,166
Okay. Miss Carrillo, I have to make
a determination as to whether or not
453
00:23:42,233 --> 00:23:47,000
I believe the story that
her two little dogs rushed up to your dog
454
00:23:47,066 --> 00:23:50,567
that was being chained to a step
on a very, very short lead
455
00:23:50,633 --> 00:23:55,467
with you standing right there. And whether
or not I believe that you stood there
456
00:23:55,533 --> 00:23:59,600
while your dog, that was on
a very short lead, that has never had
457
00:23:59,667 --> 00:24:03,834
any problems with aggression before,
picked up her dog, twice,
458
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:06,734
because once she had puncture wounds
in the stomach
459
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,100
and once she had puncture wounds
around the head.
460
00:24:09,166 --> 00:24:12,567
And I don't believe you.
Quite frankly, I don't believe you.
461
00:24:12,633 --> 00:24:15,133
And I think you're responsible for
her vet bills.
462
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,967
I think you would've indicated...
463
00:24:17,033 --> 00:24:19,967
Didn't she say that she didn't
have the leash, that she wasn't sure
464
00:24:20,033 --> 00:24:22,700
if she was holding the leash?
Her dogs came to my dog...
465
00:24:22,767 --> 00:24:25,500
I don't answer...
I don't answer your questions.
466
00:24:25,567 --> 00:24:29,133
If you're standing on your steps sweeping,
467
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,100
Yes.
468
00:24:30,166 --> 00:24:33,867
And your dog is now chained,
and you see her dogs running across,
469
00:24:33,934 --> 00:24:39,033
then you jump down from the step and
you grab your dog. That's what you do.
470
00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:42,200
You have a very big dog
that you keep on a very short,
471
00:24:42,266 --> 00:24:45,266
according to you, chain,
and there's a reason for that.
472
00:24:45,333 --> 00:24:47,333
- So if you're standing over there...
- Because...
473
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,667
This is not a question and answer.
You're responsible for her vet bills.
474
00:24:50,734 --> 00:24:54,333
I believe her. $1,526.
Judgment for the Plaintiff.
475
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,667
We're finished, thank you.
476
00:24:55,734 --> 00:24:57,633
This court is adjourned.
477
00:24:59,333 --> 00:25:02,367
{\an8}They behave, like, even in the courtroom.
478
00:25:02,433 --> 00:25:05,033
{\an8}She did get bitten by my dog,
but you know...
479
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:10,133
{\an8}You know, they listen, like, if I
start counting to three with them...
480
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,000
{\an8}It was about her not having them
on a leash and having control of her dogs.
481
00:25:14,066 --> 00:25:16,567
{\an8}They go and do what they're told.
482
00:25:16,633 --> 00:25:19,567
{\an8}About her dog getting hurt.
I mean, I went to see if it was okay.
483
00:25:19,633 --> 00:25:21,533
{\an8}Because that's how she is.
484
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,734
{\an8}That if my dog bites another dog,
I'm gonna have to pay.
485
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,967
So, one thing I found interesting about
that Defendant's testimony was that,
486
00:25:30,033 --> 00:25:33,300
when you were in your line of questioning
about whether or not her dog
487
00:25:33,367 --> 00:25:38,800
had ever been in another fight or
with any other dog, any interaction,
488
00:25:38,867 --> 00:25:42,500
she said no. I thought I remembered
when I was reading her answer,
489
00:25:42,567 --> 00:25:46,834
she stated that she had
a mutual understanding with the Plaintiff
490
00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:51,533
that when her larger dog was outside,
the Plaintiff's dogs would be kept inside.
491
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,233
Why would you need to have that sort of
mutual understanding unless you knew
492
00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:59,300
that your larger dog had a propensity
for violence towards other dogs?
493
00:25:59,367 --> 00:26:03,467
That's true. You know, I'd forgotten.
Now that you mention it, I remember.
494
00:26:03,533 --> 00:26:08,667
that I read about this mutual agreement.
Yeah, I wouldn't think that she was afraid
495
00:26:08,734 --> 00:26:10,734
that the chihuahua would attack her dog.
496
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,767
- Probably not.
- Probably not. Thank you.
497
00:26:14,367 --> 00:26:18,066
