Tones and I enjoys boozy night as she is fined for brutal dog attack which saw her American bulldog maul and kill a Cavoodle
Aussie pop sensation Tones and I enjoyed a boozy night out in the US with friends on Wednesday evening, the same day she was fined over a brutal dog attack. The 32-year-old singer's American bulldog 'Boss' escaped her $7million mansion on the Mornington Peninsula in November last year, and attacked and killed her neighbour's pet Cavoodle. Boss was euthanised as a result. On Thursday, Dromana Magistrates' Court ordered the singer, whose name is Toni Watson, to pay a $3000 fine and the council's costs, The Herald Sun reported. That same evening, Watson shared a clip to social media which captured her partying with her friends at a club. The Melbourne-born singer was all smiles as she hugged a female friend and laughed when she quipped, 'we are officially alcoholics'.

Watson's dog Boss was put down after he killed a cavoodle by biting it on the neck and refusing to let go. The court heard that Watson's neighbour, Wayne Schultz, was walking his two cavoodles when he spotted her chocolate Labrador Charlie stuck outside the electric gates. He called out to Watson's friend Tahlia as she arrived at the property and, as she opened the gate, Boss escaped, the magistrate heard. Boss bit one of Mr Schultz's cavoodles on the neck and would not let go. Mr Schultz, Watson's husband Jason 'Jimmy' Bedford and a bystander were forced to intervene and separate the two dogs. The elderly cavoodle died as a result of its injuries. 'The victim's family are devastated by the loss of their family pet and the manner in which the dog died in front of them,' prosecutor Colin McLean told the court.

The stranger's hand was fractured when he hit the bulldog while trying to separate the dogs. Watson was at home in the shower at the time. The court also heard that she wept with her neighbours on the night of the attack. The neighbours reportedly didn't accept her offer to pay for the cavoodle's cremation due to the fact the dog was 17-years-old. Daily Mail Australia has contacted Watson's team for comment. The pop star did not front court as she's currently in the US recording an album but was represented by barrister Cameron Scott. Mr Scott told the court the musician had accepted responsibility and took the matter 'very seriously'. She was ordered to pay a fine for failing to securely confine two dogs and for not re-registering the American bulldog.

Australian singer Tones and I fined over dog attack that saw 17-year-old cavoodle torn apart
Australian pop star Tones and I has been in court after her American Bulldog attacked and killed a 17-year-old cavoodle. The incident took place while the singer, real name Toni Elizabeth Watson, was in the shower at her $7 million home in the Mornington Peninsula in November last year. As a result of the attack, she was forced to have her dog, named Boss, euthanised and was fined by the local council, reported Herald Sun. Watson's neighbour and owner of the elderly dog that was killed, Wayne Schultz, said he was on a walk with his two cavoodles when he spotted one of Watson's other dogs, a labrador named Charlie, unable to get back into the singer's home because the gate was shut. Watson's friend Tahlia arrived at the star's home and Schultz called over to let her know Charlie, the dog, was outside. Tahlia opened the gate to retrieve the Labrador and inadvertently let the American Bulldog escape, and launch the attack by biting down hard on the elderly dog's neck. It eventually took three people, Schultz, a passer-by who spotted the commotion and Watson's own husband, Jason Bedford to stop the attack. The elderly dog died while still held in the jaws of Watson's American Bulldog. The attack also led to Schultz sustaining an eye injury and a bite wound on his knee, while the passer-by who helped stop the attack received a fractured hand. . 'The victim's family are devastated by the loss of their family pet and the manner in which the dog died in front of them,' Mornington Peninsula Shire prosecutor Colin McLean told the Dromana Magistrates' Court on Thursday. It was later revealed in court that the pop singer had visited Schultz's home in the hours after the attack where they both cried before she offered to pay for any funeral-related costs, which the couple declined. Watson did not show up in court due to being in the US to record her forthcoming album. However, her husband did attend. As a result of the attack, Watson was ordered to pay a $3000 fine for failing to securely confine two dogs and for not re-registering the American bulldog. She also was ordered to pay the council's costs. It was a civil matter and the singer is not facing criminal charges.
