Hate to say but the Justice system does work in CANADA

The Halifax woman behind a high-profile battle over her dog was found guilty on all three counts relating to 2010 attack on a neighbour's pet Thursday.

Halifax Regional Municipality asked that Francesca Rogier's dog, Brindi, be put down.

Rogier said the 2010 attack near her home in East Chezzetcook was not serious. "They were flesh wounds. They didn't go deep into the fatty tissue," she told CBC News outside the court.

Brindi jumped out of the window of Rogier's car and sank its teeth into a neighbour's smaller dog. The attacked dog was on a leashed walk with its owners. Brindi had recently been released after an earlier attack on another dog.

The judge ruled the 2010 attack broke three bylaws because Brindi was running at large and attacked another dog when Brindi was supposed to be wearing a muzzle.
Second serious attack

The dog was seized after the attack and is still at the city pound. The city argued Brindi should be destroyed.

"They would never have seized her in the first place if they didn't want to kill her," Rogier said.

Rogier's dog first got into trouble when it attacked another dog in 2008. Rogier fought a long and costly court battle to save her pet.

A court spared Brindi but imposed several conditions. Rogier was ordered to take a training course with her dog and muzzle her pet if it wasn't in a fenced-in area.

The judge warned that Brindi would likely be put to death if there was another attack.

Rogier said she plans to appeal the decision, arguing there were "strong charter" issues at play. She will be sentenced at the end of June. The dog's fate will be decided at the same time.
