On July 15, 2013, 2 Monroe County dog owners plead guilty to 4 counts of violating the PA Dog Law. Two charges involved harboring a dangerous dog and 2 additional violations concerned failing to confine their vicious dogs.
The citations came about because the negligent dog owners could not control their 2 Akitas on 6/12/13 in Bartonsville PA. A 50 year-old woman was the victim of an unprovoked attack while walking her golden retriever. Attorney Newell provided the PA Dog Warden with photographs and relevant factual information which helped in the prosecution of this case.
On July 12, 2013, a 43 year-old Lehigh Valley dog attack victim telephoned Attorney Thomas J. Newell. He had been working at a home in Bath PA when the owner’s German Shepherd viciously attacked him. He suffered several facial dog bite wounds.
Physicians at St. Luke’s Hospital needed approximately 11 stitches to close the facial lacerations. This German Shepherd had 2 prior incidents which established prior vicious propensities. Attorney Newell suggested he call the Northampton County Dog Warden, Kathy Andrews.

On 6/26/13, Attorney Thomas J. Newell obtained court approval to settle a Berks County pit bull attack case versus a landlord who did not live in the house where the pit bull resided. Back on December 29, 2010, a pit bull jumped over a 3 1/2′ fence on Birch Street in Reading PA. The vicious dog bit a 9 year-old girl who was sledding in a nearby alley.
The Reading PA dog bite victim was treated at Reading Hospital & Medical Center for wounds to her right arm and right leg. She also received some mental health professional care. Unfortunately, the pit bull owner was an uninsured renter who left the area after falling behind in her rent.
Even though there was no proof of notice to the landlord of the prior vicious propensities, Attorney Newell was able to persuade the landlord’s liability insurance company to pay $15,000.00 to settle the girl’s personal injury claim.
