Why did the defendants even bother coming to court to counter sue? You have zero evidence. 😂

I have family members that was killed by 5 pitbulls. My neighbor has a pitbull and I told him to his face if that Dog walks in my yard it's a Dead Dog! I'm not waiting to get attacked.

It's always sad that the dogs pay for their mistakes, instead of the owners!

"my son is currently going to be 9".... okay, so he's 8

The judge is 100% correct. Stop being bad pet owners. Stop being stupid, train you puppers.

The defendant's dog had never been aggressive before, but they put him down without a fight? I don't understand that.

Lmao at 09:07 Judge: why should they pay you $500 for the repair of a fence? Defendant: because we wouldn't even need a fence if their dog wasn't so aggressive. Judge: But we're here because YOURE dog breached the fence and attacked their dog.... Defendant: yes

The plaintive works at my school he’s a great history teacher I showed him the video for the first time. Because never saw it he missed it.

Why kill the dog since y'all claim he wasn't vicious???!!!!

Meanest dog in the whole damn town lol

I hope they work it out. It's horrible to live next to someone and not get along. 😕

If you have a dog... especially if you love your dog, you need to ensure their safety and the safety of others. I would do whatever I had to in order to put up a strong fence. This whole case is sad. Accidents happen but we all need to do more.

The matter of this case, your pets are animal, they have a mind of their own, and can switch up at anytime.

Lort they wanted somebody to pay for the fence plz make it make sense lmao

Why can’t ppl just take care of their own dogs so this stuff doesn’t happen? 🤷‍♀️

The absolute audacity of these defendants.

I think when these people show up to this show they have the option of presenting a counterclaim so they just do it out of spite.

Yeah, yeah, yeah…. My dog never showed any sign of aggression…. until it did. They’re lucky it wasn’t directed at the child.

Pit bulls may have a bad rap, but it's a well deserved bad rap. They're great dogs - until they're not. They are selectively bred for heightened levels of aggression, a high pain tolerance when excited, and a high prey drive. They are also bred to fight to the finish no matter what (gameness). Owning a pit bull is an enormous responsibility. You own one knowing that he must be securely contained and will likely attack other animals.

JUST FOR ANYONE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE CASE, AND WANTING TO COMMENT AT LENGTH ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS PIT BULLS ARE, THE PIT BULL WAS THE VICTIM OF THIS ATTACK!!!!!

These defendants are unreal. No evidence. YOU should have to pay for their fence.

Why do people have to train those dogs to be aggressive? To show off? To look like a bad guy or gal? 🙄 I have a friend who has a pit bull and I've never seen such a sweet and good dog. That dog is a complete sweet heart❤

Animal lovers say, “ I can’t believe that shark attacked a person it’s the owners fault for not training it”.

I do not understand why people expect to get a judgment, but, come to court with no evidence.

The defendants don’t only sound like they are lying they sound really dumb. I’m going to sue for something 2 yrs ago BUT I don’t have bills or ANY evidence. We put our dog that had never been aggressive before or fought other than with the neighbor we put him down because a “behavioral specialist” said so BUT we have no report or any such evidence. I mean like really? You come into court with that?? The really scary fact is that they now have another puppy 😳

A pitbull case = just another Friday on people’s court... they happen so frequently

the defendant lady seems a little craycray

Sad the dog lost it's life because of negligence from morons as owner

Reckless irresponsible dog owners,SMH

Ugh it's the people who think it's all in how you raise them that cause the issues . Stop treating them like golden retrievers 🙄 . They need training and proper socializing . They need excersize and work

A neighbor we had adopted(rescued) an Akita. He was never aggressive to people, but he would antagonize our golden retriever who was tethered.

No bad dogs just bad owners who abuse them...

Infuriates me that the poor dog had to pay for his life because of the irresponsible, idiotic defendants. They should NEVER be allowed to have pets.

No such thing as a bad dog! Just bad owners. Poor pitties get such a horrible reputation. They are the most loving and wonderful pups ever!!

Per the Dog Whisperer, "you train owners and rehabilitate animals." Very sad to put down any dog due to human negligence.

If you're that irresponsible that you can't take care of an animal properly can you imagine how they look after their children!

I took on my sister's boxer whenn she was going through a divorce. That dog loved every person that ever met but it absolutely hated every other living animal and would attack anything that got near him.

i'm up close and personal with THE CONE myself right now!!! had my dog spayed and i'll be sooooo happy when that thing comes off as she LOOKS like she's being punished and punished and she doesn't know what she did but she's sorry and won't EVER do it again...my poor baby....

Oh Lorty, the defendants entitlement is off the charts. It sounds like they came into court with a countersuit and a couple of lies because they got sued and felt embarrassed for being crappy dog owners. I can’t believe they got another dog. 😣 poor dog.

Honey, where's my flowey beach shirt? I've a court appearance today.

Douglas really be out there rubbing the verdict in the losers face every episode.

When will people learn that producing pictures of babies with the dog involved only prove how careless they are. The first thing that springs to mind is ' How stupid can you be' not 'awe, isn't that sweet'..

The defendant should of sued her counter claim when it happened. They just had alterior motives smh😁😁

Who is she looking at? Googly eyes...

The defendants flapped their gums repeatedly and took ZERO responsibility for a situation that THEY created and perpetuated. They could have had their dog quarantined. THEY chose to have their dog put down. Neighbors take notice! These people have two more dogs.

I've seen enough People's Court that I will never even own a gerbster.

An American staffordshire terrier isn't a pit 🤦🏻‍♀️ they are two different breeds

What a Legend She's a great judge every case

Keeps talking about the behavioral specialist, and does not bring evidence that they even saw one. Wow! Lmao

Has she never seen a vinyl fence? It's not like a brick wall. An excited dog could believably push through it to get to another dog.

The defendant better keep an EYE on her dogs… 👀🤣

A co-worker had a pit bull that was the biggest baby who would melt for ear scratches! On the other hand, the Chihuahua we had was meaner than some pit bulls!! Absolutes are unfair assumptions for any breed! The dog I have now is a Treeing Tennessee Brindle/German Shepherd mix who growled at a guy's pit bull as they walked by our yard and the poor thing peepee'd on his shoe! 😂😂👵🇺🇸

It's always everyone else's fault not the defendents I don't think people like that should have any animal

It really grinds my gears how he says "Defend Ants".

Pitbulls are not vicous dogs ...it is up to the owner to be kind and to train their dog with love. If you hurt your dog. ...your dog will be hurt

NOTE TO SELF, IF I OWN LARGE DOG GET A LARGE DOG RUN!

Some people need to understand that dog-aggression and people-aggression are two distinctive traits

My new friend has a pit bull which really looks intimidating. And she's so friendly and lovey-dovey it was amazing. And her name is Baby!

Man wouldn't that be cool if we could do the same with humans! Just put them down whenever they get out of hand!

Plaintiff claims his dog is a boxer? Looks like there's a bit of pit in it. Boxers generally have shorter muzzles than that.

You know the saying Blame deed not the breed statement it is very 100% true. I think people get powerful breed dogs and then get overwhelmed with the breed and how powerful they are but instead of asking for help with training they just let them continue there way and become a menis to the world instead of a part of the world. Just 5 days ago I got a beautiful Pit bull female puppy I am dealing with having to re train her woman had two powerful breed dogs this puppy and a staffy and she didn't know how to train them so luckily she was smart enough to do the right thing and i got her.

Just an FYI for everyone - Pitbull's are not a BREED! It's a classification of multiple breeds. The breed would be an American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Bulldog, etc. And - it's all about the training. I've had my American Staffordshire Terrier for 12 years and I've never had a biting problem with him - and may I add, he's the sweetest, silliest dog I've ever had.

A mother, Father, one month old baby and Pitbull where sleeping on the bed, the Mother coughed which startled the dog who than bit the baby in half. It has nothing to do with training Pit's were bred to kill. A well trained Pit is 100% loyal to it's owners and will attack anything it thinks is a threat.

These guys look like brothers. 🤣🤣

Defendants especially the wife acts like they're better than the plaintiffs.

1:10 the guy with the plad lmbooo 🤣 whats he doing.

Defendant's wife kept trying to turn the table constantly and JM got seriously annoyed. Maybe she should have gotten a oversized "lazy susan" and it would have been a nonstop tirade of counter acquisitions. 🤣🤣🤣

If you have any large breed dog, then put up your own sturdy fence with locked gates.

Judge Judy would give all litigants who appear before her a lecture about how aggressive pit bulls can be; even going so far as to read an excerpt from an article about a kid who was mauled by a pit. The defendants don't deserve to be awarded pain and suffering (or anything) for their irresponsibility.

Remember everyone...all dogs bite. I have permenant nerve damage from a collie bite. So all collies are vicious and violent now right?

The defendant’s really tried it 😂😂😂

I know my dog better than a behavior expert, I'm NOT putting my dog down because someone says dog MIGHT not be same, I'm going to be CAREFUL and take precautions b4 I go 2 that extent.

...Those eyes. OMG, I have a headache now. Jeeze.

Why is the wife cross eyed lmao

Gosh. Why does every dog case involve a pit bull or mix???

I kinda think it’s slightly messed up that the plaintiffs know their dog did attack the neighbor’s dogs on previous occasions and the defendants never asked for compensation or contacted authorities. Yet when the defendant’s dog retaliated, the plaintiff’s initiated the process to have him put down and sued. If the defendants were like the plaintiffs Blue would have been put down 2 years ago when he attacked their dog Lily or the dog that was retaliating. I bet the next time Blue acts up the defendants are going to call the authorities and Blue will be euthanized. What goes around comes around. They are both responsible and negligent. They should have done a lot of things differently.

I don’t by their excuse of , “behaviouralist said that because his dog attacked the dog previously that it would never be the same.” I could be wrong but I thought they originally said the guys dog supposedly attacked their other dog, not the one they euthanized.

I had a pit bull mix & a little mixed breed dog. For 5 years. (I had the pit bull longer but they were only together for 5 years) I never trusted my pit bull, even though he was friendly. I had a perfect system down where the dogs could see each other but neither could interact together. I took my dog out to my property one day to go to the bathroom. Someone walked by 40’ or so away with her bull dog & I had to jump on my dog & put him in a choke hold b/c he wanted to kill the bull dog. My dog was friendly. Either way, no one was hurt. But it just reinforced my way of thinking, I can’t trust that dog. Both dogs have passed away, but I will never own another pit bull. And I do miss both of my dogs.

I would never let my dog or child get near a pit bull.

Dogs are such a burden on society. Only thing worse than a dog is a dog owner

An American Staffordshire terrier is NOT the same as a pitbull

Such a sad case all around. One dog injured and one put down....

The audacity of the defendants to counter sue for a fence! 😂 What happened here is so cut and dry and the fact that the defendants even thought they had a chance in court is beyond stupid… there are two people in that relationship and not one of them had common sense to just say “hey, our dogs went over to their property and attacked their dog therefore we are at fault”… 🤦🏽

I disagree with the people who were talking outside the court. You could have been the best parent in the world and your child could still turn out to be a serial killer. It's the same with these vicious animals. They are mean, evil, and aggressive by nature.

my daughter is 12yrs old, really she is 13!!! but soon she will be turning 14🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️

It’s how you train your pit bulls, we had 3, and they were changed in our yard and neighbors still called the dog catcher on them...

Just in case the female plaintiff ever sees this...you need speech therapy...the way your tongue pushes your teeth...is why the are so crooked. I had the same issue...I swallowed wrong. The tongue is supposed to hit the roof of the mouth...not your teeth.

Needed to cut that “teather” and let the pitbull be free to tear that other dog apart

"Pit Bull" is a lousy name for dogs of this breed, we should call 'em Staffies. It is the OWNER'S responsibility to raise them like babies, treat them right, etc., and they are Great dogs, I love them and I've never met an aggressive one. ANY dog of ANY breed can get pissed off and attack anyone or anything. Just like people, sometimes animals lose control. You have to be careful and watchful around animals and people!

Both neighbors are equally clueless when it comes to dogs and yet they collect aggressive dogs like a cold war arms race. If your neighbor gets a dangerous dog I suggest getting video camera and keeping all the original receipts. I doubt Dog owners will admit they are wrong especially when vet bill hit thousands.

Okay I know I'm being mean *but* the defendants wife's eyes 👀 only one eye could look straight at a time and I couldn't stop looking...it was mesmerizing....😂😂

These idiots killed their dog because they are lousy dog owners. Disgusting. I hope they don’t get any more dogs.

Sorry, but I don't feel bad for the Plaintiff and his pit bull despite seeing those pictures. It attacked the first dog Lilly unprovoked and the Defendants did not collect for damages to their dog in that incident when they could have. It is unfortunate for the Defendants that the Plaintiff was prepared and they weren't. Judge was correct in stating that Defendants still should have assumed more responsibility by taking precautionary measures in either reinforcing the fence or erecting another fence.

Wtf why didn’t they try to regime their dog? They said this was the first sign of aggression and it’s just with this one dog from past trauma. Just don’t walk that way or rehire. You killed your dog for this? There must be more to it.

A small dog can attack and the wounds might not be as bad. A strong Pit Bull can cause much more damage when they are in a fight with a smaller dog.

Defendants are disgusting! Put down a badly trained dog and get another to badly train!

“Good for you” -Doug lol

Just another example of why some people shouldn't own pete

A staffy isn’t a pit bull. Either he is using that to hide the fact that he has a pit bull or he doesn’t understand what a staffy is. Pit bulls are not good pets. There are way too many attacks. One of my dogs is a former bait dog. They let young dogs fight smaller dogs. The scars are terrible. My other dog is 13 lbs. and we were attacked 3 times by a neighbor’s pit who tore the screen out of the window to get at us. Even his owner wasn’t willing to wade in. Luckily I was able to hold my dog over my head so I was the only one injured. He dragged his owner after me the other two times. They got kicked out of the complex after it knocked an elderly lady down and savaged her dog. My daughter’s silky terrier was brutally attacked by her neighbor’s pit that jumped into her fenced yard. Thousands in vet bills. He won’t go into his yard any more. They have to put him in the car every time he needs a walk and take him down the road.

They’re both guilty and no one should pay. This is a case of dumb pet owners. I know my dogs and I know they don’t play well with others and I sure as hell don’t leave them unattended.
