Aussie popstar's bulldog euthanised after mauling neighbour's cavoodle
Australian popstar Tones and I has been ordered to pay a hefty fine after her dog fatally mauled a neighbour's cavoodle when it escaped from her Mornington Peninsula mansion.
Her American bulldog, Boss, was euthanised, and the Dance Monkey singer was fined $3000 after she was charged with failing to confine her pets.
The tragedy occurred outside her $7 million mansion in Mount Eliza in November 2024 while her neighbour, Wayne Schultz, was walking his two Cavoodles.
The singer, whose real name is Toni Watson, shared the home with her husband, Frankston Bombers footballer Jimmy Bedford, and their two dogs, Boss and Charlie.
Dromana Magistrates' Court heard that Boss launched at the 17-year-old cavoodle after the gates were momentarily opened to let Charlie into the yard, NewsCorp reported.
The American bulldog bit the cavoodle's neck and refused to let go as Mr Schultz, Mr Bedford, and a passerby attempted to separate the dogs.
The cavoodle died from the attack, and Mr Schultz sustained a knee injury from a bite and a bruised eye.
The passerby fractured their hand while trying to separate the dogs.
Ms Watson's barrister, Cameron Scott, represented her in court while she was in the US recording her next album.
She reportedly offered to pay $599 to cremate the cavoodle, but the owners declined.
