Ainley also put Vidaurre on probation, which prohibits her from owning or possessing dogs for the next 10 years. Vidaurre also must perform 200 hours of community service, Polk said.

 

On Feb. 4, two mixed pit bull dogs attacked two brothers through fencing between the yards.

Vidaurre was ordered to pay full restitution for the family's medical expenses, Polk said.

NOTE: There is a donation website set up by the family to help with medical expenses.
